Answer by Cathy C
He was the first practitioner who wanted to make theatre closer to reality, rather than being about melodrama and gesture as was the fashion of the times.
He wrote books about ways to explore the psychology of a character looking at their needs, desires and the way they went about attaining them. Basically trying to show a real person, rather than a caricature.

Um, he is directly responsible for 20th century and current acting technique and theory. Read "An Actor Prepares".
