Acting for the screen in film & television is crucially different from stage acting. Although acting has attracted many theories & schools of thought, especially those based on the work of Stanislavski and known as "The Method", no special theory has emerged for screen work. The fine art of acting is discussed in the books "an actor prepares", "on acting and actors" and "secrets of screen acting".
