"To stand there and do nothing on film is probably the hardest thing to do"

This quote by Thomas Jane speaks with the problem of acting in film. To stand there and not do anything on movie requires a lot of skill and control. It is not as simple as it might seem. The actor should have the ability to convey feeling and believed without speaking or moving. They need to have the ability to record the audience's attention and draw them in with their existence alone. It is an uphill struggle to be able to convey a character's inner thoughts and sensations with no physical action. It requires a great deal of focus and concentration to be able to remain still and yet still have the ability to convey feeling. It is an ability that takes some time and practice to master. Thomas Jane's quote talks to the problem of this job and the ability it takes to be able to do it effectively.
