If an actor seems bright but has a lot of problems with memory and concentration, are they most likely having?

Question

issues with stage fright or nervousness?

Answer 1

W O W, just take it one day at a time, slow down and take some time for yourself.

eat properly, excercise and ask for help if need be.

sometimes just slowing down for a while and getting proper amounts of sleep are able to reset your brain and defrag your thoughts.

Answer 2

an actor with stage fright, loss of concentration, forgetfullness, never heard of such person that has a job as an actor. But u never know, it like the movie planet of the apes. The apes were terrified of water but those few apes did pass the river.

Answer 3

This could be any number of things.  I am currently working with an actor that is dyslexic and has problems learning lines if someone doesn't run them with him every day.  (I've seen other actors with similar problems for other reasons.)  If you are the director, pull them aside to speak to them about it privately.  If you are a fellow actor, I would go to the director to express your concerns.  Do not make an issue out of it in front of other people. If it is nervousness it will only make it worse to draw attention to it, or to make this person feel bad. After you alert the director to the problem (which they have probably noticed anyway), wash your hands of it and continue to do your best onstage (or backstage).

Unless you are the director, or the actor asks you for help, it really isn't any of your business.  I know it can be hard to act against this person, but apart from talking to the director to express your concerns, there isn't much you can do.  Learn your own lines (and theirs) and be prepared to pick up the slack should lines be dropped in a performance.

Answer 4

may be A.D.D. or  not studing his/ her lines,or  just not into it.
