Do you ever look around at our world today and think: nothing means anything anymore. So many of us are (understandably) cut off emotionally, desensitized, and this has affected acting today. All too often, we think that arriving at a big idea is where our work ends. In fact, it’s where our work begins. It’s one thing to intellectually understand an idea, but it’s another thing altogether to understand the meaning as an actor, which manifests itself as the ability to experience it, to understand it emotionally, in the core of our being. “As actors we have to eventually save the world because other things aren’t.” Milton says in this episode. “Our understanding of material and our understanding of life should be what affects people.” Have an acting question for Milton?
