A movie star says, ‘how do 
I change a script to suit me’, a movie actor says, ‘how do I change myself to suit the script’
— Michael Caine
 
This fortnight, I’ve been thinking about acting, and where the craft comes from, and are you born with the skill, can it be learnt, can just anyone act, can a potentially good actor become great, what does ‘he’s a natural’ really mean… who has that X factor… the quality that Pankaj Tripathi and Vicky Kaushal have, to transform the screen.

Movie stars here tend to build their bodies first before they build their bodies of work.
