why are british actors so based?
how does tiny island nation half the size of texas pump out such a disproportionate number of quality actors and actresses?
what's their secret?
strong stage and theatre tradition
>>68934339
Name some
The RP accent is a lure for dumb Americans who think any shite that comes of that accent is smart.
Truly.
>>68934339
theater and shakespeare.
thats it.
once you can succeed in that area then movies are a breeze.

>RP accent
what's this?
Because we actually have schools that teach acting and british actors are hired based on talent, not looks. Amazing idea I know.
>>68934339
the English accent is god tier and they play the psycho and smoothie really well.
>>68934443
but most of them do fake american accents..
>>68934497
hardly surprising, that's their only name
>>68934339
The United Kingdom is 2.4x the size of Texas, not half.
U.K.: 64.1m
Texas: 27.0m
American actors come from shitty daytime TV shows, most British dont and they cant really make it on looks alone.

He's Irish, that's British enough
>>68934747
> size matters in relation to amount of talent created
I hope you never breed.
the same reason that we once controlled 80% of the planet
we are inherently ambitious and and over achieving.
now we have simply transferred our attention to the new global empire, screen and television.
we are your masters.
deal with it.

Because when a kid in England wants to learn how to act, you go through the stage. Which can be fucking grulling doing several plays a day. It's basically a trail by fire, compared to Americans who get daddy to pay for an extras spot in Big Bang Theory
Plus our acting schools are very well funded.
>>68934747
We're talking about actors, which are people. Therefor size is determined by population. Physical size has no bearing on the subject.
>>68934339
Because in the uk you have to act Happy every day
Its grueling
send help please
>>68934339
Work ethic/respect for the craft. American tradition enables diva-ism, while the British stage enables and requires greatness.

>>68934339
Which one is Britain? Right or left?
>>68935785
Right is the island of Great Britain, the UK though also includes Northern Ireland (Ireland being the island on the left.

I'm under the impression that the training a professional British actor goes through is more rigorous and in-depth. Also I theorize that being super fake might be something that's more ingrained in their culture, so it comes more easily for them.
>>68935073
It's true, all of it.
>>68934339
We're just naturally more talented at everything

Oh sweet summer child.
The weathers fucking shit and we hate ourselves so when we've got a passion for something we really go for it.
Also we're quick to show skepticism so when you intend to do somethig people aren't convinced youre cut out for you're more likely to know about it.

Careful now.
It's part of the British Isles, though.
America. We've done this, literally for thousands of years.
>>68934339
They have a long theater tradition. I personally don't get the hype though. Cavill is terrible.
