Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Good:
believability,
commitment to moment-to-moment truth,
intuitive understanding of the role,
easiness of access to emotions
trusting in his innate acting ability,
listening to his co-actors and reacting naturally and spontaneously
being as opposed to acting or faking!.
Charisma: that raw animal magnetism that projects thru the silver/TV screens

Bad:
faking it;
pretending as opposed to being;
thinking how the line should be said instead of being
zero emotions
saying the lines in a learned pattern
not listening but waiting for your turn to say lines
sucking like Ben Affleck and being ugly like himWww@QuestionHome@Com

What makes an actor stand out it his natural ability to captivate an audience!.Not having to try to hard in order to do so!.When you believe what your watching to be real then you know the actor is producing excellent work and therefor possesses essential skills all actors should have in this occupation!.Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both actors trained everyday and learn and grew,!. At first, like all actors their lives were fill with those naysayers!.

They had the tenacity not to believe a word an keep plucking away role after role!. They worked hard!.

The actor in every film has really such a small part!. Watch the credits sometimes, there are 100s of people behind the scenes!. Professionals dedicated to making the project shine!. The stars believe it or not are used to put butts in the seats!.

Not every script is great nor is every actor a true fit to what the movie is about!.

Both actors are great,
Academy award winners are the ones that usually do a movie where the character they are playing is who they really are in real life!.!. The energy is a near match!.

Deniro is great but had some bad movies, Afflec is great and also had some bad movies!. But they will be working tomorrow, because they have the tenacity to keep going

An actor who can put on a different performance in each of his/her movie!. Example: Look at Heath Ledger's portryal as the Joker, compared to his role in Broke Back Mountain, etc!. A great actor becomes the role!.!.!.not putting on the same performance such as Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, etc!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Research is EVERYTHING gets a person more into character that's what Robert De Niro does!. Spend time doing what the role is e!.g if someone playing the part as a cab driving you be a cab driver for a while!. It makes them play there role a lot better as they're immersed into the character!.

They can play any type of role convincingly without you thinking of all the other roles that they have done!. A great example would be Johnny Depp!. also another great class is they draw you in and make you feel that the person they are portraying is the real them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
