Acting is reacting. Acting is doing

Acting is both doing something and/or reacting to something. All acting is
reacting to something. For example there is a reaction when you get stung by a
bee. Cars react when the gas pedal is pushed down or when the phone rings
you react. Reacting precedes the doing; when the traffic lights turn red, you
stop the car. Also if a character should be cold, the animator should not make
his teeth tremble and chatter for that is an example of weak acting. The
character should first react to the temperature, then do something about it such
as; rubbing his hands together and stamping his feet.
