And there was this other guy, Voktangov, that also talked about every rehearsal.

It's very interesting.

And I read all this in grad school.

And then the group theater came in.

And then Ilya Kazan was a huge part of it becoming popular because you had this guy that was sweeping floors of the actor's studio and then started directing plays.

And then all of a sudden, he's a huge movie director.

And he's putting Marlon Brando, who's part of the actor's studio, starring in his movies.

And so it all just sort of erupted.

But then it branched out.

And so there's people that are dogmatic about it, about it's only using your substituting.

So if I'm doing a scene with you, you aren't you.

You're my brother.
