"Stoicism is a valid philosophy but in an actor it may disguise a lack of craft. I find I care not a whit for such a vapid jellyfish."I should have paid more attention in Philosophy class in college. I missed the chapter on Stoicism. Was it right after "relativism.?" I guess stoicism is helpful to snakes sneeking up on prey.
This is a character who is devoid of emotion, because he lives his life through others. Emotionally stunted. You or I become mad, happy, etc., because we have experienced these things. I am not sure why an actor would demonstrate emotion when the character has none. An actor's craft is to serve the role.
