Private Life

Sean Harris acts according to the Stanislavski’s method. This acting method implies that the actor identifies at some points with the character. The actor must feel what that character feels and vice versa. The character can be influenced by past actor’s experiences. This is why he works very much, without pauses. This method is highly appreciated because the action can be filmed continuously, with few takes. His intense work leaves merely no space for interviews. The actor believes that what people need to know about him is on the big screen. Whatever goes beyond his characters is not the public’s business. This is why there is so little information about his private life on the internet.
