Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Susan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:38:02 09/26/07 Wed In reply to: Elizabeth 's message, "Favorite Feature" on 22:10:01 08/20/07 Mon I need to watch "Baker of Barnbury" again." :-) As for the Blackbeard laugh, I think it sounded pretty devious! (I hope he wasn't that devious in real life!) And as for it sounding real, well, all I can say is go back and watch "The Epic That Never Was"--the scene where Caligula (Emlyn Williams) sentences Claudius "to die in the most beautiful possible way" to see/hear how convincing an actor can be when he doesn't mean it at all! Emlyn looks like he's going to hurt himself laughing so hard, yet the moment the director says "cut," you'd never guess he'd been laughing at all, let alone doubled over, snorting, and looking like he had tears coming out of his eyes just a moment before. He just straightens up with a perfectly serious face and calmly walks off camera! That moment amuses and amazes me every time. I'm sure Bob was equally capable of creating the same illusion.

[> [> Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Sue G. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:08:08 09/27/07 Thu That reminds me of something that I've always wondered. And that is what it must be like to be married to an actor of that ability, as you mentioned about Emlyn Williams, and how they are able to turn it 'on and off' at any time. Could you really ever completely know, in real life, if they were sincere or just able to act out a crisis or situation at home. Scary thought, isn't it? Then again, they are professionals, just like any of us in the work force (of course, they get paid a lot more), and you learn to deal with work and leave it when you go home.
