when they do not get to speak. for instance in much of the movie castaway with tom hanks he is silent, and in the movie "the bellboy" with jerry lewis his bellboy character never speaks. i think that this kind of acting requires much more talent because it eliminates the actors main tool, the voice. the actor has no lines to remember no way to put the proper inflection or emphasis on a word they have only the body with which to purvey all of what they are trying to get across. what do you think?

Definitely. My psych teacher had us do this experiment for a whole day (school day) where we couldn't communicate vocally and it was harder than ****. You had to keep "miming" down to a minimum as well. It takes talent to be able to portray emotions and communicate without speaking. Totally.

It's not more difficult, it's just different. It allows a different kind of freedom and enables you to focus more easily on your surroundings and the action in the scene.
