Jack Waltzer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Waltzer (born June 6, 1926)[1] is an American acting coach and actor.
Waltzer is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio and trained with educators of the Stanislavsky method such as Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Lee Strasberg, and Uta Hagen.[2]
He coaches actors both in North America and Europe, with master classes in cities such as Paris.[3] His students have included Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver,[4] Sharon Stone,[5] Julie Gayet, and David Atrakchi.
In a Los Angeles Times article, Weaver credited "her newfound range with a process that began after Roman Polanski introduced her to uber-acting coach Jack Waltzer in Paris in 1993."[6]
Dustin Hoffman personally called Waltzer to request shooting his acting class for a scene in the film Tootsie.[7]
