Some New Directors will spin an actor up... and force him to "emote" fully during rehearsal... so that he might see in advance how it might look on film. But this rarely works out by the time the camera is rolling the Actor has already shot his emotional wad... during rehearsals. This I have deemed "premature Actorization"
The actor was spent emotionally by the time the cameras rolled. He was a victim of "premature Actorization".

Get the Premature Actorization mug.Artful procrastination, typically in the style of an actor intentionally delaying or prolonging a cue so as to build dramatics tension. Usually unsuccessful. Unusually just annoying.

Get the Journo-Actor mug.The infinitive form of this intransitive verb is "to actor". In a scene where an actor is actoring, that person's focus on winning an award is what comes through to the audience, rather than the character that the actor is supposed to be playing. Actoring most often happens in an emotional scene full of tears, during a monologue, or while the actor is staring into space contemplatively and wistfully, but actoring can be done in almost any scene that involves a long close-up shot of the thespian's face. Most actors will actor at most once or twice during the entire run of a television show or in a single movie. But some people, such as Nicolas Cage, have a special talent for actoring.
Ppphhhh. He's actoring right now. I guess he wants an Oscar nomination. So much for the suspension of disbelief.
