Pinter's acting spanned the television eras I have identified as studio realism and location realism. However, unlike many of his contemporaries, his screen performances do not represent a straightforward linear development from the scaled down, stage-derived codes of multi-camera studio to the less projected style of single camera film. In contrast, Pinter drew upon a variety of styles at each stage of his acting career. This article utilises five case studies to examine the extent to which he did not conform to the model of a stage actor adapting to screen work. The opening four texts are divided into two pairs; the first examines his work for multi-camera studio television, and the second for single camera film. The multi-camera case studies include a supporting role as Seeley in his own Armchair Theatre entry, 'A Night Out', alongside the BBC's 1987 adaptation of The Birthday Party, in which Pinter plays Nat Goldberg. The single camera pairing comprises Pinter's cameo as lawyer Saul Abrahams in the 1976 television movie Rogue Male, and his memorable appearance as the Director in David Mamet's 2000 short film Catastrophe. In addition to examining the range of techniques Pinter employed over his distinguished – yet comparatively little heralded – acting career, this article will also consider his 'performance' in his 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature lecture, 'Art, Truth & Politics'. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Historical Journal of Film, Radio & Television is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
