Method acting is a kind of acting that involves an actor fully immersing themselves in the character they are playing. It was developed by Russian actor and director Constantin Stanislavski and is based on the idea that an actor should use their own emotions and experiences to portray a character. METHOD actors often spend time researching the character they are playing, and use techniques such as sense memory to help them get into character. This type of acting has been used in many films and theatre productions, and is still popular today.
