Topic: Role (actor)


  
  Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gamemaster's role is to provide a world and a cast of characters for the players to interact with, and to adjudicate how these interactions proceed.
These games often have little to do with the dice or random number generators used by some players to determine outcomes; rather, characters are created and manipulated by their players in the form of a large interwoven story, using only the imagination to determine what occurs.
This type of role playing can be a form of fan fiction, with players taking the roles of characters from their favorite movies, television shows or books.

 Free-CliffNotes.com - How Would An Actor Prepare To Play Richard In Shakespeare's Richard Ii?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Assuming the actor has reinforced his hold on the attention of those observing, the plot not only centres around him in the scenes where he is present, but also in the scenes where he is spoken about.
This role demands that even when silent and subservient he remains the audiences focus of attention, and that it is not believable that this ability can be attributed to anyone who assumes the role.
The role of Richard can be seen as quite a pioneering one in that it borders on realism, and brings the subtleties of true-life character defects onto the stage in a way that was not done previously.

 The Actor's Reality -- By Robert Epstein
These actions were found from the actor's truthful immersion in the imaginary life of the role, with full psychological involvement and physical commitment.
Through a long, involved series of active rehearsals, with emphasis on the "truth" of the role, a logical chain of actions would be discovered improvisationally and then gradually refined.
He believed that by going fully with behavioral action and interaction, working directly off of other actors and objects in the environment with full physical engagement, the actor would feel a real involvement in the imaginary situation and would begin to generate consistent truthful responses in the moment.

 Wargames 2b: Role
The question of role-simulation is essentially a specialized type of wargame modeling question, but it is so central to the format of wargames that it deserves independent analysis.
Wargames that incorporate the information limitations inherent in actual combat roles should generally be more successful predictors, better strategic training devices, provide more realistic immersion experiences, and promote sounder policy formation.
The fog of war refers to the incapacity of actors in a conflict to attain reliable information about their own forces, their enemy's forces, and their environment.

Apparently Leo has thought Menace itself sucked, and he was rumored to have turned down the role as Anakin Skywalker in Episode 2 (in fact, Access Hollywood confirmed he turned down the role because of scheduling conflicts).
