Abstract
This thesis is an examination and documentation of an actor’s process through the creation of the role of the Vicomte de Valmont in Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses. What tools does an actor use to make his work believable? How can the choices he makes influence the story an audience receives? The actor takes you scene by scene through the choices he makes and the challenges he encounters in order to tell a clear story.
