Screen acting is surely one of the most difficult forms of acting in existence. On stage, an actor has the advantage of “living” the character he portrays from the moment the performance begins until the final curtain. Acting on the stage then is a continuous, progressive expression. Should the actor be called upon to deliver an impassioned, sensitive monologue toward the end of the play, he is aided by the fact he has developed and matured with the character since the curtain was raised. He “builds” upon that which is past.
