Sir Laurence Olivier is world famous for his outstanding artistic achievement in the theatre and cinema. If you saw him on the stage you would understand why he is constantly attracting ¹¹ the best critics’ attention. If you saw him on the screen ¹² you wouldn’t forget the images ¹³ he created. He is constantly ¹⁴ changing because he wants to keep ¹⁵ the audience awake. He believes that the audience wouldn’t respond if he did what he was expected ¹⁶ to do. In this he follows ¹⁷ the advice given by Feodor Chaliapin to an actor: “Never do what the audience expects you to do.” If he himself hadn’t had qualities that widen your vision, and add ¹⁸ to your understanding of the world, he wouldn’t be regarded ¹⁹ as a distinguished actor. These qualities are: thorough knowledge of the play, artistic imagination ²⁰, physical, intellectual and spiritual strength, an ability to identify with the role.
