Acting for Film is a book about acting in motion pictures and the techniques that can be used to act in front of the camera. It’s written to the actor, which is what I am, and discloses some of the approaches to film acting that have been prevalent in American movies. Being an actor, I have a very practical, yet personal approach to things. Whatever the technique or philosophy is, it has to work for me in the field; it has to work when the camera is rolling. Every actor is a unique instrument that only he or she knows how to play, so my advice to you is, take everything in, keep what works for you, and leave the rest for later电影表演是一本关于在电影中表演以及在镜头前表演的技巧的书。这是写给演员的，我就是演员，它揭示了美国电影中流行的一些电影表演方法。作为一名演员，我有一个非常实际的，但个人的方法来处理事情。无论技术或哲学是什么，它都必须在这个领域对我起作用；它必须在照相机转动时工作。每个演员都是一种独特的乐器，只有他或她知道如何演奏，所以我给你的建议是，接受一切，保留对你有用的东西，其余的留待以后
