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;
- Who?
- What?
- Where?
- When?
- Why?
The first two questions I asked were who and what. Here are my findings.
Robert, who preferably likes to get called Rob, He is in his 40 and married with a family. He loves his job and is very dedicated to it. He sympathises with both the victim and the offender, however in the case in “Car” I do believe he favours the offender and is very close to Nick. 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.
