"Why are people hating on this? This is what an actor does!" one person wrote. If you must know, I based my entire personality on Seasons 2-5 of "Girls," and I'm a huge gamer. This is a julliard education. Why are people hating on this? This is what an actor does! It’s a craft. This is why she's so good! 👍🏻 https://t.co/wWTZpIJmCg Fun fact. I studied the Meisner Technique for 3 years when I left college. Bringing a character to life is truly such a creative and thrilling experience. Having to build a history behind every single word said is no joke. I love actorrrsss, so much. https://t.co/5zfgL9JnKr People hating on this when this is literally what you’re SUPPOSED to be doing as a trained Meisner actor, not terrorizing your co-stars and calling it part of your method https://t.co/cgWRW81iM9 Too many ppl in the comments think being passionate about your craft & doing more than what’s required is cringe ..and that’s sad and concerning https://t.co/zs0vD1rHiq The respect for craft is what I love most about film/stage artists. https://t.co/RcC7Shbzlr
