Alan Alda’s beautiful speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes as he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th annual SAG Awards on Jan 27. The 83 years old, the actor talked about how the minds of actors work. He said,
“When we get a chance to act, it’s our job, at least in part, to get inside a character’s head and to search for a way to see life from that person’s point of view — another person’s vision of the world — and to let an audience experience that. It may never have been more urgent to see the world through another person’s eyes than when a culture is divided so sharply. Actors can help, just a little, by just doing what we do.”
