Really interesting view point I made on my birthday 2 years ago. It really helps me.
BTW I know there are you cop outs out there that have no idea how I feel about you, but maybe my true acting friends will read this and have something else to gain.
When I say you are going to get what is coming to you, it is in the context of REASON. I am talking about KARMA. When you "get what's coming to you" it is humiliation in terms of your superficial values and failures that result in your falsely insured pride pulsates even if you have your asses covered.
So many of you actors in general are fucking absolute morons.
There I said it. MORONS.

"Many actors will not subscribe to a vulnerable view of life, instead in my experience, I have encountered gross misconceptions of what the art has indeed become. Rather than committing to instinctual nature, the methods they've employed without real acting skill. So, to their credit, they'll act superfluously.
The minute they try to act territorial, the minute that happens, all acting has stopped. Instead, I have seen actors defenses in not wanting to act, will examine their own efforts in being upstaged.
Once they have tried to defend their territory in not being upstaged, they have ceased any effort of required skill to act.
1 - They forget about themselves.
2 - They are territorial.
3 - They become a version of exhibitionist quality."
=====================
I had an interesting experience on set, which completely solidifies my own contentious theory to acting.
When I was asked to do an action, during the scene, which Jack Layton played by actor Rick Roberts, was being introduced as leader of her majesty official opposition in parliament.
As Jack makes his way through the line-up of his supporters, I acknowledge him with enthusiasm, being asked to perform a gesture - which I did. What happened after the fact was most curious.
As I was the one true actor to personify the action present, I did so with charm and class. The response I got from the other principle actors in the scene did not receive my acting very well.
I was not warned against what I did, therefore, no harm - no foul. What truly baffled me was the body language received by the actors based on my performance, was as if they felt they were being upstaged by me.
It was completely surreal as it felt bizarre.
What I learned was how I can push the envelope as an actor, really makes actors not unconsciously aware of what they are doing. They immediately stopped acting. It was fucking magic what I did, nobody cared to acknowledge it, except I - myself.
To make a point of how the unconscious truthfully plays a part in the submission in acting, totally encapsulated the fear other actors had of me. The most bizarre experience I have had on set to date. I upstaged the entire cast, not because I wanted to, but because they were not unaware of themselves.
I know I have the talent to make it as a principle actor. It is just a matter of time. If I make it to Hollywood, it will be the clean and sober way, not an ex-pat gone south to sell out myself to the devil in sheep's clothing. I'll make it there the way Jack Layton did, Pierre Trudeau, or John Diefenbaker would never do.

Try sitting inside an old high school cafeteria, on said persons birthday, to have myself commemorate it. Talk about rude awakening.
====================
This movie set has about 99.9% of people standing around doing nothing. Every political party needs to have a couple of stereotypical bimbo's as part of the action, and the main actors are, to a fault, in character.
====================
This has to be the fucking most neurotic set with extras I've been on in a while, everyone thinks they're movie stars.
====================
Since my drive out to Selkirk this morning, I am lucky to have picked up breakfast at my nearest A&W, I'm famished, it's 3:15 and no lunch.
====================
Finally, lunch time and the brain kills for sustenance.
====================
God speaks to me in different ways, for my birthday, I hate myself having to sit beside a woman who thinks she's a guy. I regret saying that it is so. But truth be told, I am comfortable with that. Super villains wearing neurotic type capes. Fuck. Whatever.
====================
I detest how - people do not know how I let them 'win'. Nothing is more insulting, then I having my own intelligence insulted, to reason. It requires skill to silently fill that medium; a void without benefiting the doubt.
Marco Almeida"I will upstage using my disbelief of the other actors inhibitions - only to justify my actions - so only I feel safe."^This is the worst stereotype so many actors are victim.
===============Marco AlmeidaActors feel required to have defense mechanisms in place of acting truth, which leads to territorial acting habits, which is not real acting at all.These are actors that take the "I will not be upstaged." ego, as opposed to "I will upstage using my disbelief of the other actors inhibitions - only to justify my actions - so only I feel safe."There has not been one soul I have been through in acting, that can coexist on any level, let alone do scene work.I might be a lot of things, but I know I am not a stupid actor. I have learned enough to be born with the skill to master what others fail to see in themselves. I refuse to pick up on such bad acting habits. This is where my awareness is drawn from, my unconscious nature.- ===================
Marco AlmeidaI am a poor mans version of acting habits, that tells a story.
