Michael Douglas Teaches An Acting Masterclass With Netflix

Veteran actor Michael Douglas gives Netflix an acting masterclass in just 4 minutes.

He’s been acting for over 50 years, so knows a thing or two about it. His movies have ranged from the serious and sly with Wall Street, to the gripping Fatal Attraction, to the cartoony Green Eggs & Ham. He’s been in a big range of movies and gives us some insight into how he prepared for each role and how he got to where he is today.

The key points that he goes over are using your voice well, working well within a team, taking a deep dive into your character’s psyche and making sure you have good people around you. It’s fascinating to hear his thoughts and see how he approaches each role. Even at 75, he admits that he’s still learning new things and is still finding out more about himself as an actor. It’s a great vid from Netflix that takes us into the mind of one of Hollywood’s most talented and critically-acclaimed men.
