La notte di Evelyn - Directed by Tommaso Ottomano - With Ottaviano Blitch

An actor doesn't necessarily have to stay in character even when he's on stand-by. Usually, the actors who implement the technique of the Stanislavskij method belong to that category of artists who develop a real obsession for details and can get to become the character in its entirety, to the point of frightening you, to the point of convincing you that that is the person in front of you.

In order to develop Stanislavskij's technique an actor must create the tangible conditions for a complete annihilation of his own personality. For example, Ottaviano Blitch, from the moment he is hired for the role of the villain Fred in the film Shadow, begins a real psychophysical transformation that will also lead him to worry the director of the film, Federico Zampaglione. All the details of the oddities and really crazy anecdotes that happened on the set of "Shadow" can be seen by clicking here: "Shadow". In the film "Liver", Ottaviano takes at least 4 weeks before detoxifying himself from the demonic influence of the character's personality.

The characteristic of the madness of Ottaviano Blitch's way of thinking is that of identifying with the character to the point of remaining hostage to it for a long time, consciously. Blitch is not an easy artist, not at all, he becomes short-tempered if you address him in an arrogant way. Ottaviano has repeatedly stated that he didn't care that he missed several opportunities to be hired for some very profitable films, but which he didn't like, or maybe the script was interesting but the director turned out to be presumptuous and arrogant. This is a job that must be done mainly if there are two fundamental characteristics: passion and determination.

Orson Welles said one fundamental thing about the vital role of the actor he occupies within the stylistic code of cinema, when compared to the too much importance given to the role of the director nowadays:

Orson Welles:

"I have never set foot in a film school. And I had never set foot on a set before filming "Citizen Kane". No doubt I was touched by the grace of total ignorance. I learned everything there was to do. know in three hours, not because it is particularly intelligent, but because cinema is simple! You have certainly spent too much time watching movies. Don't close yourself too much in the cinematic universe, like a box of herring. And pay attention to the enchantment of the most perverse muses. The decadence of cinema is the result of the glorification of the director. But the actor is more important. Today the director is the most overrated artist in the world. Think of the great moments of the film. cinema: they are all in black and white. The more technical progress advances, the more the creative spirit declines. And I fear that electronics will only end up helping third-rate films."
