Putting acting to a test.

A good actor can pretend to be happy. Even when he isn’t happy. Makes me wonder if good actors are able to avoid depression. By playing the role of a happy man. Actually living the part.  In a pretend way that feels real. Maybe acting would be good therapy for people in depression. Worth a try, isn’t it? By the way, I’m a happy man. And I ain’t pretending. I’m willing to play a manic-depressive. Just to determine if I have any acting ability. –Jim Broede
