Billy Boyd's comic timing is very good.

Oh yes, he just makes the scenes he's in! Have you ever heard him talk on his webpage? You can barely understand him, his accent is so strong!

Maybe you could mention this converstation to your students...that plain old people out there notice even when an actor is "underacting" for the good of a scene?

Oh, no... I have the other problem... usually no reaction at all. It cracks me up. In the play they are getting ready to do, there is a fight. So the two actors go at it, the rest just stand around looking at each other.

"What would do in real life if a fight broke out in front of you?" I ask.

"Get out of the way. Break it up. Watch!" They respond.

"Then do that!"

Nope, next time we do it, they just stand around looking at each other.
