Rob – Car – Character Study

This is a character study of the character “Ray” I played as part of the scene studies. To help us understand the character according to the Stanislavski system we were encouraged to ask 5 questions to help us understand the character. These 5 questions were;

The reason I thought this is because he is the one he first told about the car theft he was involved in. He even offers Nick his office as a hang out. Rob doesn’t smoke and is very moral and encourages Nick to hand himself in. Rob also encourages Nick to build bridges with his parents, as he believes this would help him make the switch, so he genially cares for Nick’s well being.

At the meeting between Gary and Nick he doesn’t stop Gary telling Nick what he thinks however does realise there is limits to what Gary can say to Nick. He stays calm throughout the meeting even when things get heated between Nick and Gary when ...
