Okay, I have this friend who works in this fancy restaurant. One of the guys she works with--she says is always putting on a show. (he's a model and is getting into acting) For example, as he walks, he constantly does his "runway waltz walk". And she says that whenever she's tried to converse w/the guy, it's as if he's reading from a script like practicing in front of a camera. It makes others feel as if they are talking to a wall (some of the responses of other co-workers).
Out of curiosity, was wondering if this was common amoung actors? To constantly "practice" any chance they get, no matter where they are? It seems to bother them, but I think it's halarious. Anyway, the guy looks adorable (don't know him however)

In my experience, people who are "on" all the time don't make the best actors. Far from it.
The great majority of really talented actors that I've known in my life were all highly intelligent people who had a very strong sense of when it was appropriate to be in "performance mode," and when it wasn't.

Haha. Sometimes I pretend I'm in a movie, on TV, at an interview, that sort of thing, not ALL the time, though. I pretend to be other, made up, characters sometimes as well.

No, that is not normal. Actors are normal people... He must just be really desperate or something, or looking for attention.

It might also mean he's being fake...
