Really? Not read much about how direction works? You mean the actors improvise? Make up their own lines? Perhaps you could cite some books or written material on the matter? What is your authority? Tell me what you have read? Or are, what would we say, making shit up? Again?

Well, it seems to me that 'dictate' is keyword here. Much would depend upon actor's status-personality interactions with director's
status-personality. I've read of some actors being difficult to
work with, especially with dictatorial directors, 'storming off
sets' and so on. I presume some directors permit more leeway in
actors interpretative freedom than others. Personally, if I were
an actor, I would prefer direction more as guidance than dictatorship,
as 'artistic straitjackets'would not appeal to me. ~AH
