Summary/Abstract: It is difficult to juxtapose the actor with the performer. Their encounter in their most extreme versions may result in interesting conclusions.

Considering technical potential of modern cinema, it has reached the stage when a basic question should be asked – where is the limit of the so-called realistic acting? The query about the status of the performer – the actor in the film – remains an open question until the revolution of complete digitalisation of the film picture takes place. But is it going to be the same cinema we all know?
