> Tbh, it's still like that in some countries. Norwegian actors (where I'm from) have felt quite stiff/wooden since forever, and they all have the same backgrounds - i.e classical theater schools, play actors before working on TV, etc.
This is how UK actors are trained to this day, and everyone seems to like Patrick Stewart, Emilia Clarke, Judi Dench etc. I wouldn't call them stiff but they are better at going Shakespearean than American actors.
Really my only complaint is David Tennant's terrible American accent.
