What do you think is the hardest part to portray via Film or TV.

For me it is acting Drunk but do think Selina Griffiths did a great job. BTW Selina is Annette Crosbie's daughter.

No, it's acting as if you really fancy your "partner" when he/she has bad breath and you've got to be all sexy and lovey dovey with them.

Chris gascoyne aka Peter Barlow plays theeee best drunk by a mile!
Definitely a hard emotion to portray!

Disagree Curly as I saw so many mistakes he made - eg kept looking at monitors to see if they were "on" him. no, not good.

The worst ever drunk portrayal was Les Dennis recently in Corrie. Laughable!

Withnail And I has the ultimate in drunk/high portrayals.

I didn't see anything special in that vid.

I think you're all wrong regarding drunk scenes. The idea is that the person is inebriated and looking towards a camera is purely fluke. Pretending to be drunk is one of the easiest things to do. Don't forget that most of the actors/actresses out there have been paralytic more than once in their life time.

I think each individual actor will have their strengths and weaknesses for some it is love scenes for others anger and so on.

I think that I've been a little too quick to answer this question. Cheers Mamyalynne for making me realise. I'd like to retract what I said. If I was an actor I'd be good at playing the village drunk as my past kind of suits that; love scenes I'd be shocking at :/

I've never seen a sporting scene that looks anything like "the real thing" in any TV soap or drama.

I reckon laughing or crying spontaniously and convicingly has to be pretty hard to muster up.

Interesting fact: Richard E Grant was a teetotaller when he played that role. Probably still is for all I know.
