How far above his own level of intelligence can an actor act a part….also..?
acting intelligent is nothing to do with the actors own intelligence as they are performing the script, however i think it would be best put as would someone like the actor who plays billy mitchell (dont know his intelligence level sorry) in eastenders be better at playing the role of someone like Einstein than stephen fry who is not really a great actor but bloody super intelligent in short it is down to how each actor is directed and perceives their own role and is pereived by others to be playing the role. again to be put abother way who played james bond the best, i think it is a combination of many different things coming together and working right to make each individual performance outstanding.
