“The character does not go inside me, I go inside the character. The character is formless, unseen, in front of me, and I enter the outline drawn by me. If an actor takes the character inside him, what you see will be the actor and not the character.”

………………………………………………………………

Acting is a process, but a process that works differently and at different speeds for different actors. Some actors work from the outside (the dialogue, relationships, costume, makeup, etc.) to the inside- so called technical actors -while others start on the inside (use of selves) and work toward the outside- so called method actors.
The technical actor ma give results sooner, but the character may lag behind. For method actors, the opposite would be more likely.

Bharat Gopi was a great actor… During my childhood, I never used to watch his movies, for I never got entertained by those classics… It was a age, when a person is more inclined towards pseudo-action movies… But as times changed and as tastes differed, I was able to understand and like classics and Bharath Gopi became a star in my mind… It is a hughe loss for Malayalam film world and Bharath Gopi joins the list of veteran actors like Balan K Nair whose loss have caused their shoes to remain vacant, with none alive able to fill it… :’( (A tear for that veteran, who portrayed the common man U & I know, in the movies!!)
