Ali Nassirian : An actor is a creator

 

In one of its oral history programs, on the occasion of the birthday of Ali Nassirian, a veteran actor of cinema, theater and television, Cinema Museum of Iran releases parts of an interview with this artist.

Ali Nassirian ,a veteran actor of cinema, theater and television, said: "One of my lucks was that I was able to find the path I was interested in and loved in my life."

 

He added: "I became interested in acting after watching Ta’ziyeh and ritual and traditional shows in my youth when we didn't even have television. We all saw Ta'ziyeh, but how such a show was created interested me. I think Ta’ziyeh was created because the influence of portrayal and representation of the Karbala incident is different from its narration. "

 

The veteran actor continued: "We lived on Shapur Street and I used to watch American movies without dubbing or subtitles at Noor Cinema on Amirieh Street. At that time, they put Intertitle on movies, they cut the movie and explained about it. That's why every time I went to the cinema, other audience would ask me if I was literate to read the Intertitle for them."

He added: "For playing roles, I refer to my own motives and views and the sense of interest and creativity that an actor should have, because the actor himself is a writer of plays and scripts. According to Roberto Ciuli, just as the director writes the story with his direction, the actor also writes, because the actor is a creator and not just an agent and tool of the director. It is true that he should pay attention to the director and listen to his words, understand, listen and have a conversation, but in my opinion, the creator of the play is the actor.”
