<p>Not to start an on-line fight, I am not a fan of NYU, BUT I also totally disagree with your total premise DramaMama0804!</p>
<p>There are many differing views on your statement; you will find many people saying that a complete actor must have intelligent knowledge of many different things in the world they live in, that psychology, sociology, history, science, current events, etc. etc. are very important to clearly and thoroughly understand the play you are performing in. Some believe knowing other areas is necessary to be a complete person and therefore a complete actor, that it makes you more interesting as a person and an actor, gives you something to discuss while networking, etc. Taking classes outside your major also allows you to “relax” which is also very important to an actors existence. </p>
<p>There is no one way to become a successful actor and acting ability is only one SMALL part of it (we all have seen poor acting from successful actors). You like your logic, that’s good for you, but please don’t phrase it like the only logic.</p>
