The Method technique of acting in which an actor aspires to complete emotional identification with his or her role is based on the system evolved by Stanislavsky and brought into prominence in the United States in the 1930s. Method acting was notably later developed in institutions such as the Actors' Studio in New York City, notably by Elia Kazan and Lee Strasberg.
