The actor's interpretation of a rolethe art of actingpertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character. This can also be considered an "actor's role," which was called this due to scrolls being used in the theaters.

"Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era". Midnight Marquee Press. p. 150..

The film follows a group of residents of Berlin on a summer's day during the interwar period. Hailed as a work of genius, it is a pivotal film in the development of German cinema and Hollywood. The film features the talents of Eugen Schüfftan (cinematography), Billy Wilder (story) and Fred Zinnemann (cinematography assistant). Production The film is subtitled "a film without actors" and was filmed on Sundays in the summer of 1929.

They were part of a collective of young Berliners who wrote and produced the film on a shoestring. This lightly scripted, loosely observational w ...
