The good thing about acting.

The good thing about acting is that there's so many ways to portray different characters.
The best example I can give to back up that statement is British Film and TV Award (B.A.F.T.A.) winner Dev Patel, who is well known for his role in the hit BBC series "skins" as a young trouble-maker named Anwar. However in his recent movie debut Dev was cast as an 18 year old orphan named Jamal, living in the slums of Mumbai, India, and how he risks everything to become a millionaire; in the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", And not so much a prankster as his usual character and a lot smarter.
playing different characters is a good way to work on our personal levels in theater and to learn more about our own psychological boundaries and the way that each side of our personalities are either similar or different to another person's.
The acting in the movie as a whole was really good as far as the different characters' personalities and emotions, I really liked the whole direction of it and if nobody else has seen it they should. I think it's one that everyone has to see to understand this post.
