What makes Elijah a great actor?

I was curious to read what you guys think makes Elijah a great actor!


-
I think his attitude towards working makes him a good actor. You can't just know how to act and be great, you have to have the feel for it and the respect. Which Elijah does. He is very confident in the roles he chooses, and he takes his characters and make them real. He brings himself throughtout all his characters, which is always nice to see. He always has a positive attitude, always looks on the brighter side, which is another very important thing I think makes him a great actor.

Yes I agree. Most of all I think it is his confidence.

i love how he keeps his humour in any situation, he never acts better then anyone else...everyone is an equal and that just because he is famous he doesnt act arrogent [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
for his acting he chooses roles that are always different and unique. what ever scene hes in he has this amazing gift to make the audience feel what his character is feeling! to cry, laugh or be at peace watever the emotion we feel it to!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I agree with sunnyskye, Elijah can make the audience feel the same emotions his character feels. I think that's because his face is so amazingly expressive, he doesn't have to say anything, just look into his eyes and you know what's going on with the character.

I agree. There was a big article about him in The Baltimore Sun, and he talked about his eyes and what a blessing they were for him as an actor, and I really do think they do a lot. But his attitude is also an important part of what makes him great.
Plus? He’s still in his early twenties! I foresee a long and spectacular acting career out of him.

The answer IMO is that he has a lot of things that make the difference. Attitude, confidence, humour are the most visible ones but I think Elijah secret is his commitment to the role and to the audience who will watch the movie, and that really shows up and that is what makes the difference.
