The role of an actor or character
is like an empty body without a soul, without a person like a ghost. Every performance in front of the camera, amidst the light, colors, even the clothes have to wait for someone to pick them up and put them on, make up their faces to be ready for the scene. In the imaginary world, the actor must let himself be empty, ready to accept changes in every role, a serious face, a focused mind, a feeling that sinks deep into the character in that imaginary world.
