Abstract [en]
Firstly, in 2019, I played a role of a woman who got married to a married man, later after the series aired to the public the role fired back on me. I observed the audience’s reaction exceeded everyone's expectations. The audience is divided into two parts the first part is the women who expressed their anger in a very aggressive and strong way, and the second part who was exciting to the character. The first part of the audience used several offensive, strong, and insulting words. The audience's reaction was very emotional, and they used all the tools to express their feelings for example, they used social media platforms and verbal violence when they saw me in the street. On the other hand, sometimes the women’s reaction was interesting in my point of view when one of the women personalized the role by imagining her husband betrayed her with the character for real. Secondly, in 2021 an actress from Egypt Mona Zaki pretends to take off her panty in a scene in the film. Although she didn’t take it off, she chose to symbolize the action, the scene fired back badly on her and her personal life as well. The audience couldn't compartmentalize between the acting and her personal life and personality. Therefore, we focus on the audience impact and the way the audience impacts the actress in the situated areas in this research, what would happen when the audience can't distinguish between the role and the actor's real Character?
