Sanford Meisner
American actor and acting teacher (1905-1997)
Sanford Meisner was an American actor and acting teacher who developed an approach to acting instruction known as the Meisner technique. While Meisner was exposed to method acting at the Group Theatre, his approach differed markedly in that he completely abandoned the use of affective memory, a distinct characteristic of method acting. Meisner maintained an emphasis on "the reality of doing", which was the foundation of his approach.
