Is Sacha Baron Cohen (Star of ‘Bruno’ and ‘Borat’) A Secret Method Actor?

mo | Blog | June 6, 2010

As a serious Method Acting Coach, you may be surprised to know that I went to see the new film by Sacha Baron Cohen, ‘Bruno’.

Myself and my wife Natalie went along for a good laugh, and we weren’t disappointed. But let me warn you, if you’re easily offended or of a delicate disposition, then it may not be for you!

I have always been intrigued by Mr Cohen’s work because there is something very Method about it.

Yes, it’s high comedy, but the Method is used by many a great comedy actor, including Gene Wilder.

Now I know that Mr. Cohen did not say he probably is a method actor, and he probably is not a method of quality training, but let me explain where the similarities.

He creates characters that absolutely credible. You may be extreme, but all can be fooled around him. People who are in contact with him, we do not know that worked perfectly convinced to come. To the point where it can create bizarre moments in comics, because the people involved is really to believe him. Sure, he finally pushed too far and go.

But the creation of such convincing characters is the forte of the Method Actor. They also tend to test these characters out on the public. Robert De Niro, when he created the character of Travis Bickle on Taxi Driver, spent a month driving a New York cab to understand the world of his character. Daniel Day-Lewis goes out in public and tests his characters out with those around him.

This is a great test. If people are in real life convinced you, then you’re on track. With my students, as part of my acting lessons, sometimes I’ll ask them and a scene in a real restaurant, an art gallery or public place and see how people react around you. Are you convinced?

Also, there is something else about Mr Cohen’s work. I believe there is a very talented serious actor in there too. There are a few fleeting moments in the film which are touching. But it was enough for me to see that he has the ability and potential.

The big message from all this is that being believable doesn’t always mean being subtle. It means being believable. It’s a fine line, but the boundaries must be tested.

During your own acting classes, test your believability. Ask your peers if they truly believed what they saw. . . if they say yes you’re on the right track.

Do you know any tips on being a good actor for a high school play?

mo | Blog | May 31, 2010

In my high school, there is this famous annual play that occurs called the Variety Show. I’ve heard that the play is extremely difficult to get a part in it, unless you are a very talented person. My mom constantly tells me that I will never make it because my older sister who tried out in the pass didn’t make it. I really want to show my mom that I could make it and get a part. I do not think the play is not untill a long time, and I want to improve my drama skills. I also really regretted no ttrying out for it last year because it sounds like alot of fun to be in it, although it may be stressful at times.
