Exploring the Connection Between Philosophy and Acting

Lately, I’ve been curious about how philosophy might influence acting. It feels like there’s some overlap both dig into human nature, motivations, and even the big questions about truth and perception. But I’d love to hear from others who’ve explored this. How do philosophical ideas shape your approach to a role? Do you draw from specific schools of thought, like existentialism or stoicism, to deepen your performances? Or maybe there’s a particular philosopher whose work resonates with your process? I’m really interested in any insights or personal experiences you’d be willing to share!
