Good actors don’t have to act, they be themselves.

Trump doesn’t have to act and pretend.

Biden was all pretending.

Good actors don’t have to act, they be themselves.

Not true.

There are two main types of actors: personality actors, who essentially play versions of themselves across roles (like Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson), and transformational actors, who fully disappear into their characters (like Gary Oldman or Daniel Day-Lewis).

Both styles can be powerful—one draws on authenticity, the other on versatility.

The ones who rely on being themselves are usually fine until they become caricatures of themselves.
