I’ve Never Agreed With The Conventional Wisdom That ‘actors Are Great Liars.’ If More People Understood The Acting Process, The Goals Of Good Actors, The Conventional Wisdom Would Be ‘actors Are Terrible Liars,’ Because Only Bad Actors Lie On The Job.

What’s Called For, What Actors Are Hired For, Is To Bring Reality To The Arbitrary.
