The Deer Hunter | Film Acting Lesson: Spontaneity in Acting (Part 3)

Director and actor Robert Castle of International Theatre New York explores spontaneity and the physical life of an actor in Michael Cimino's film The Deer Hunter. Actors Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Christopher Walken, John Savage, John Cazale, among many others give performances that are wholly organic, spontaneous, and moment to moment.
In this episode, Robert Castle discusses physical and emotional spontaneity through specificity among the characters-who they are, how they interact with each other, and how they relate to the world around them.
