- Video of a young Mark Ruffalo acting and being passionately shouted at by legendary acting teacher
Stella Adler in acting class for not wearing the a costume that fit the scene.
I do not own this footage and will not be making any money off it. I’m sharing this clip for educational purposes and to aid aspiring actors by showing a great actor as he formed himself as a performer.
Stellar Adler was an icon teacher who worked with Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Harvey Kitel and many more legendary actors - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
This is amazing. What clear, tough love she gave him here. Everything she said here is the absolute truth - total commitment to whatever you're doing - and he obviously took it to heart. He learned the lesson she was giving him - his career as an actor now is a living testament to what she says here.
It’s thrilling that Mark persevered and has become a brilliant actor.
I see a little smirk from her when he admits to ‘stealing’ his outfit; she clearly liked him as a person, and wanted to see him succeed.
All these years later and he’s a multiple time Oscar nominated actor and a fine actor! Who would’ve thought a kid like that would be where he’s at today.
One of the best and most influential teachers of acting in America. She really studied Stanislavski and she disagreed with purely method acting. BTW, she could be veery warm and appreciative if you did a good job. I have rarely seen someone who had such insight and understanding of writers like she did.
I always felt Stella was so so. Made some good points...sometimes. I studied with most of them. And Stella didn't really study with Stanislvaski, she went to Moscow to get a better sense from him about the system, she was there not quite a month. That's not really studying with someone. You don't go to stella for one month and say you studied with her. The problem with all of that approach talk is people like stella was full of it. Instead of just accepting people were different in their way, she went out of her primmadonna way to bash Strasberg. And I'd say there's been more greater actors that came out of Strasberg/Actor's Studio than Stella's school.
And this is where so many don't really have a concept of what all that means. What is 'purely Method acting'? Do you know? There's no such thing. I studied with Strasberg, as well as Uta Hagen. Strasberg was the most complete. He didn't have 'one way'. He tried everything, and had many tools/techniques, not just one. From Improvisation, relaxation, sense memory, animal exercises, song and dance, emotional recall....and more. Media and the public have made his way just about emotional recall/affective memory. When he himself said only use that as a last resort, if nothing else is working. And it never was about using something 'traumatic' from one's real life. It was to find something that would trigger the same effect, 'without' going into a real traumatic situation. His approach has been bastardized. And he was the closest to Stanislavsky, in philosophy of acting. Both Strasberg never liked the term Method, media created that,and it stuck. He said then it's like there's one Method, one way. And Stanislavsky said similar. He didn't call it Stanislavsky 'system', others put 'system' there. He kept changing, adding on different tools, techniques. When he taught beginner classes, he started out by saying during this course I'm going to give you a variety of tools that hopefully will make you a great actor. Eventually you will find your own way, what works for you, and have your own unique system. I don't really have a step by step system. I have tools. You create your own unique approach. And Strasberg said similar. For yrs he was asked to write a book on acting, which later on he eventually did, but he kept saying I don't want to do that, because then it will be like the actor's 'bible', meaning you have to follow this way. And I have no one way. I'm constantly changing or finding new techniques. Sorry, didn't mean to write a dissertation, haven't written about acting in a long time, just went off on a tangent
I've watched this many times over the years and never knew it was Mark Ruffalo. It's nice to know he got over this experience and learned something from it.
She’s not screaming. She’s teaching. And he needed to hear it. He was being dreadful.
Flat, monotone delivery..didnt sell it...and she was right..the costume was not befitting the character..
Wondered who that was...
She's *a bully.* You only let her get away with it cuz of her name. This is actually just a crazy woman who knows how to yell n scream. Due to her family ancestry in acting & theatre it made her feel morally superior to others in the trade! I suppose a blonde, white female gets away with alot of things. She's lucky for she's another Hollywood powerhouse who would go down today cause of her mistreatment of ppl
This is 100% correct.
She is screaming and she is teaching. Both things can be true and are. 😂
Marks performance of the Hulk is basically emotional recall to his times with Stella.
bruh HAHA that would make her mad tho 'cause she was not in favor of emotional memory 😂

After being in her class... you couldn't help but have emotional recall... I love her as a teacher... I too am an Acting Director and teach Acting... but I would NEVER scream at my students...
Different times I suppose.
@Marcus
Not her personally... (I'm not that old)... Took classes from her students that became acting instructors...
I have a Love/Hate relationship with the way she taught Acting...
IN her day... The Acting Director/teacher was or could be Harsh... Yelling... Cussing and she did to that on many occasions...
I one of her videos... she was cussing beyond what I would have seen as a Lady in her time...
I was NOT impressed.
A Teacher/Coach/Instructor does NOT have to YELL or Cuss out their students to the point of shaming the student actor... or to yell to get their point across...
Being passionate is understandable... Talking and expressing oneself is acceptable...
In the 21st Century we now know more about the psychology of how it can hurt one's psyche and sometimes traumatized some students.
Once when I was very young ... 5th grade... I was with a group of kids singing on stage... (I will NEVER forget this day as long as I live)...
As I was (trying) to sing and not doing a very good job... (I had never been taught)... a young teacher yelled at me and said, "You can't carry a tune in a bucket... Go sit down, you are hurting my ears!!"
I was mortified... and thought if I ever got the chance to ever become a Teacher I would Never YELL at them, shame them or embarrassed them...
I never sang again...
UNTIL a Great Teacher helped me... and I started singing in the 7th grade...
Teachers, Parents anyone should THINK before they Talk...
I don't care how good a Teacher thinks they are a Student/Child will NOT listen if they're yelled at, or embarrassed, or scared of the Teacher...
Stella Adlar was a great Actress... but I would not want to be cussed or yelled at by her... for any reason.
@Marcus
EXACTLY!!!!
MY daughter was taught acting from a student of Strasberg... she said he was down right mean sometimes...
As his student, my daughter's Acting Instructor... Never treated any of her students like that... She is a great Teacher in spite of him.
She’s a lot nicer than some of my acting teachers, lemme tell you!
Facts! Acting coaches are not very nice. They give blunt honesty like a any casting director would if you were to make it to LA
Stella called him talented, 3 times oscar nominee....
She's the reason why mark is who he is today
Stella screams
Mark: don't scream Stella, you wouldn't like me when I'm Angry
He looks so much like Chris Sarandon in the princess bride..😂😂😂
With what he's wearing, he looks like Chris Sarandon in Dog Day Afternoon
stella was kind of person makes you laugh at your very own reaction
She was a tough old woman. I wish I had studied with her.
is this a part of a film?
lol
He's turning green, I can see it around the edges of his neck.
Is this the play where he got high?😂😂
No he was a bit older in the play you mentioned
That would probably be This Is Our Youth by Kenneth Lonnergan
Half these comments really railing on STELLA ADLER lol film bros are genuinely wastes of oxygen innit
Don't they give you the costume you'll need. I don't get it.
Damn. She dressed him down because he didn't dress up.
And yet 99% of actors still don't make it. So whatever.
Depends how you define making it, I suppose. If you define making it as being world famous and a “star” then that’s definitely true. But there’s also a lot of actors or artists in general who just want to make something truthful and honest regardless of the commercial measurements of success. Someone may consider it more fulfilling to make something on a phone that speaks to a smaller group of people in a more profound way than to be at the helm of some blockbuster movie that has no depth or meaning beyond it’s ability to entertain (still a valid goal)
When I watch this clip, It serves as a reminder that whatever we do in life, we can learn and grow if we stay open to it. He seems very self assured and cocky in this clip but it’s likely to mask insecurities and fear of being too vulnerable. What’s inspiring, then is looking at his ability now and seeing what an open and honest performer he can be because he continued to grow as an artist and began to understand artistic expression on a deeper and more profound level than he did in his youth.
Yeah, I agree with all of this. 98% of actors don't make a living wage, but they act anyway because they love it. @@Scott.Burchell
That's why I decided not to study with Stella. Way too much the primadonna. I never really thought that she was that good, not on par with Strasberg or Hagen
Well he did. He is a 3 time oscar nominee.
What a horrible old woman. This is not the right way to teach. This is a young acting student.
He cannot yet the way she wants it. Besides she should him to find HIS wat not HER way.
It's clear that the British actors surpass the Americans and this is a clear indication of why. Just absolutely poor
She did not critique him for his acting. It was because he lacked the etiquette of what to wear in the theatre as a thespian. It was disrespectful in her eyes. Acting wise he had it. Class wise no
Wow...making a generalization about American actors? Mark Ruffalo is a 3 time Oscar nominee! How many times has Stella Adler been nominated for an Oscar?? Thank you, case closed! Have a good day! Those who can't do....teach!
She does generalise in the clip, although by saying "Those who can't do....teach!" are you not making a generalisation about acting teachers? Not only did she have a successful acting career in her youth, Stella Adler was a hugely influential figure who helped shape a lot of the great American actors. Marlon Brando even went on to live in her home while he was studying and although it wasn't her alone, she clearly played a huge part in his development as an actor. Robert Deniro also took certain aspects of her teachings on with him as a young actor, as he has said in recent interviews. I understand why you would be upset at her generalisation, but to dismiss her credibility on the grounds of one subjective comment seems a bit unfair.
WOW... Aren't you Rude and Mean...
YOU just cut down EVERY Teacher in America (make that the world)...
She did it... and decided to Teach later on... just like me... I'm 67 years old, and am reopening my acting studio to TEACH... because I want to share my wisdom... Because I'm a good teacher...
Who are YOU to be so disrespecting...
Show a little respect to ALL the Teachers of the world...
I know one thing... YOU need to be taught Manners...
what an ignorant response... very ignorant. Stella's main goal in life wasn't to be a recognized actor... it was to pass on Stanislavski's teachings on the next generation of actors who went on to become recognized. clearly you haven't been in a Stella Adler or a regular acting class... ever. don't talk about what you don't know. I have had teachers who're recognized stage directors and also renowned actors, as well as actors who don't care for fame or awards. and its not their goals. I've had teachers who've yelled at me and that's the way they teach, not because they're traumatizing you. They're confronting you so you can get it because they won't repeat it twice. And don't be such an ignorant: James Franco is one of those, who has an Academy Award nomination, 5 master's degrees and a respectful career as an actor (before scandals took him downhill) who has taught at NYU, Columbia, UCLA, USC, CalArts and others. There are those who can do and can teach. Don't generalize either. and do a little bit more of investigation: Stella had a SUCCESSFUL career as an actress in her youth years before becoming a LEGENDARY ACTING TRAINER and her alumni reflect her teachings in their work as Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Mark Ruffalo, Benicio del Toro, Salma Hayek, Sean Astin, Holland Taylor, Henry Winkler, etc., a long history. A lot of American theater and cinema has been shaped and been influenced by Stella's teachings.
Plus, I'm an award-winning actor and filmmaker in my country and I'm an acting teacher in college. So get some respect for those who TEACH and learn some manners first, get educated in the first place.
@@judichristopher4604 Judy, you are going a little overboard with the hyperbole....need to mellow out a little!
I don't think you have anything other than a consumer's eye for craft, acting, or teaching. Best sit this one out.
