Chapter 6 analyzes stage versus screen acting, traces the history of the American star system, examines acting styles, and explains the art of casting. Stage actors work in real time, while the film actor’s performance is constructed of shorter moments. The earliest silent film actors were nameless, but they soon became highly paid idols. In the 1930s and 1940s, studios controlled the careers of actors, treating them as bankable commodities. Influences on acting styles include the British repertory system, Stanislavsky’s "method," and French New Wave improvisation. Filmmakers may use the iconology of a known actor or use nonprofessional actors for authenticity.
