Many actors studied Stanislavski's innovative technique for actors, emphasizing emotional truth and inner motivation and known today as the Stanislavski Method, it revolutionized modern acting. This method taught actors different techniques that improved their style. Actor, Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors of all time. He studied at the Actors Studio in New York and was the main source and inspiration for a naturalistic acting technique known in America as "the Method". Under the guidance of its artistic director, Lee Strasberg, the Studio adapted many of the techniques developed by Russian director Konstantin Stanisalvsky to train actors to feel and realistically portray the emotions of their characters. The intense emotional realism achieved by the workshop's students, including Marlon Brando, James Dean, Geraldine Page, Rod Steiger, Robert De Niro and Jane Fonda, has influenced actors around the world. (Actors Studio," Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 2000)Al Pacino better known as Sonny not only changed the way I see actors. He taught me what a real actor is. He is a brilliant man who mastered Stanislavski ' His method Pacino also has a sense of humor and there is never a dull moment on set..."I was once in a play in Boston. It's a long show, about three hours and I'm on stage a lot during the show. And I got... I got this feeling from the audience. These eyes were looking at me. And I felt like there was some sort of relationship and I was relating and it was working, it was giving me something back in some way. Well, I followed the entire show adapting the performance to the part of the audience where I perceived those eyes. So I had to see who he was in the limelight. Right? The curtain came, I looked in the direction of those eyes: they were the blind dogs. (The Today Show, NBC)Al Pacino said: "The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful - my personal life suffers." In other words, “acting is simply more than going on stage,” as Dr. Stevenson would say. It's more than just reading the lines. To be a real actor, I believe you need inner skills like learning life. In all the books I've read, in all the chapters we've reviewed in class, and in all honesty... Al Pacino is an actor I can't forget.
