LIBRARIAN

"In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle"

Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973), U.S. biographer.

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".
