Becoming An Actor By CAROL WILSON UTLEY
Christopher Metas, 22, rising actor at the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, speaks of acting as action not performance. Since July 15 he has played Montjoy in Henry VI and roles in Taming of the Shrew and The Miser, aiming to show audiences they can act in life as well as on stage. He traces acting from childhood in Minneapolis and Ann Arbor to study with mime masters in Europe, seeking honesty as the core of fine acting.
