It is amore intimate style of acting as opposed to stage acting, which is performed on a broader scale for a live audience, or voice acting, where your interpretation has to provide the entire "theater of the mind" setting for the listener. On-Camera acting, film acting in particular, is "realistic" and can sometimes feel as though you aren't doing anything, but that is far from the case.

No Pay, Nudity Starring Gabriel Byrne Canton's Palace Theatre
by Mary via NEohioPAL 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

No Pay, Nudity will be shown at 7:30pm Tuesday, November 29th at Canton's Palace Theatre. 605 Market Avenue North, Canton OH 44702 330-454-8172 Synopsis: Aging actor Lester Rosenthal (Gabriel Byrne) has lost his way. In this often humorous, yet warmly poignant story, love and friendship, jealousy and re-discovery, career, family and friends (Nathan Lane, Frances Conroy) intertwine as Lester navigates the perplexing realities facing so many of us as we pursue dreams and dignity. A film about hanging out, hanging in, and hanging on. Admission is $5. Just saw it at the Cleveland Institute of Art's Cinematheque. An amazing film! Nathan Lane was brilliant. Gabriel Byrne was fantastic. This film touched me on so many levels. Lee Wilkof was there to answer questions about the film. So the event was informative and entertaining.
