In this video post, Bill explains the three reasons why commercial actors are often the best actors in the world. Three reasons commercial actors are the best actors in the world. I have been a working actor for over 20 years and have been teaching film, tv, and commercial acting for more than ten decades. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s those well-trained Meisner actors who also become commercial actors are the best actors in the world. I have three reasons why. Have you ever tried to love toilet paper? I was on set once, and I saw a producer point at me, and comment to another producer, “It’s like he actually loves the toilet paper.” And I knew I had made it. Great acting is great acting. It’s taking imaginary circumstances and crafting them as real: to feel, to react to the moment, to listen. It’s no different on a commercial set. These are all the essential fundamentals that are instilled with the Meisner Technique. Different medium than say an intimate black box theater, but the work is the same. Falling in love with a paper product is the same as any of the themes Shakespeare tries out in his dramas: If you’re listening, If you’re reacting.
