Exploring Television Acting is the first book to bring together scholarly and practitioner perspectives on acting for television. In 15 new essays by internationally distinguished researchers and actor-trainers, and the most exciting early-career scholars, this collection analyses the acting processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed television actors such as Hugh Bonneville, Viola Davis, Philip Glenister, Hugh Laurie, Maxine Peake and Jason Watkin.

The book is organised into three sections, each with a particular angle on the actor's work on television. The first section focuses on the ways in which historical, industrial, organisational and technological developments have shaped television acting. In the second section particular performances are explored in depth. The final section looks at the wider context of a modern television actor's career, with analyses of their training for the profession, their well-being, and the casting practices of British and American television companies.

Industry Reviews

This fascinating volume interrogates the multiple ways that the televisual medium impacts actors' work and lives. Taken together, the essays expose the full complexity of the system in which television actors work, from actor training and techniques, through casting and directing, to performances as captured and framed by camera operators and editors. By delving into this book, the reader will appreciate how actors adjust their art to the pressured world of television employment.
