- The actor who is not stuck in propensities, limitations or habit patterns
- The actor who possesses a thorough knowledge of the tools of the trade
- The actor who makes insightful choices and insists on following through
- The actor who knows how to prepare organically implement those choices
- The actor who knows how to translate general direction into specific craft
- The actor who trusts impulses and follows them moment-to-moment
- The actor who understands all media, and adjusts behavior accordingly
- The actor who thinks like an artist - not prone to obligation or imitation
- Are you an independent actor?
