Losing your edge?
Thu, 15 May 2003, 12:56 amFor someone who is an intense actor, if one seeks some form of help to overcome personal demons, is it possible to lose your edge as an actor?

It's not What you have that makes you good or bad at anything. It is how you use what you have that makes the difference.
If one has personal deamons, then this knowledge is always with you even if you have "dealt" with them. You should still be able to recal the feelings and emotions.
An actor can never lose their edge unless they themselves misplace it. An edge can become dull and it can be sharpened. It can also be swapped for a different kind of edge.
A versatile actor can draw upon personal experiences and impressions of other's experiences without those feelings necessarily being those they have at that instance.
