The art world is a very exciting place to be in and lately, most artists have become multi-skilled as they oftentimes venture into more than one discipline. When it comes to acting, it is obviously more than reading scripts and portraying the appropriate expressions and emotions.
Nowadays there are many actors with different acting techniques that are widely recognized such as Daniel Day Lewis. Actors like him are called method actors and adopt almost every habit or behavior of the character they will be portraying even while they are not on set. This includes listening to the same music, wearing the same clothes, and having the same daily habits, as well as speaking and behaving in the same way. It is a very intense and sometimes physically exhausting process as they distance themselves from their own personality for a long time.
Other actors have different techniques to become their roles, but each actor must be able to slip into their characters with a snap of a finger. Once the camera begins rolling that actor must become that character almost in a way that makes the audience question if they’ve ever seen him like that before. All acting techniques are based upon understanding the script well. While actors are required to memorize their lines and make minimal mistakes, they are also expected to internalize their char- acter’s motives, intentions, emotions, and even their most secret thoughts that no one can see or hear on screen. But all of these fine nuances greatly affect the final tonality and outcome of the film.
Balthazar has appeared in numerous award-winning films that have been widely recognized for their unique production, storytelling, and casting. She has captivated the entertainment industry with both her striking looks and her enigmatic personality. Throughout her career, the actress has charmed the likes of Dior, Vogue, and Cartier. Crossing into the acting world from the fashion industry, she was regularly told that she had a natural talent for acting. Balthazar told French Jalouse Magazine that her interest in acting began following the release of Thierry Mugler’s Alien Perfume Commercial. It was a story of a mysterious woman filmed in an extraordinary movie set in Paris and was directed by the Maestro himself.
Uncomfortable with the thought of playing only model types, Balthazar decided to focus on acting and to work on her craft to become a professional.
She has been seen mostly in character roles, often portraying Science Fiction and Fantasy individuals, such as Agent Pitt in the highly recognized film ‘Asternauts’. It won the prestigious Jerry Goldsmith award and was screened in Cannes and at the Berlin International Film Festival, just to name a few.
One of her other Lead roles was in Think/Feel Productions film named Silent Night. Her character’s name was February and varied greatly from her other roles. It gave Balthazar the opportunity to portray a whole different person and was applauded at the Columbia Film Festival.
A natural typecast of Balthazar is highlighted by her role of Lex Luthor’s Guard in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. As the movie was a huge box office hit, she was able to transmit her chameleon dimension herself with that role which can be considered a milestone in her career as an actor.
Her portrayal of troubled characters is best demonstrated in her principal role of Darla in Welcome to Nowhere (bullet hole road), which was selected for the Lower East Side Film Festival and New Filmmakers NY and won the Queens World Film Award.
While it may have been unsettling and stressful for many other actors, Balthazar appears to welcome the challenge of something new. The film was praised for its great storytelling, and it’s evident that Balthazar’s skillful take on scripts and on-screen presence greatly influenced the results.
Her acting career started with being cast as the lead by prestigious production companies, including QUAD France.
Balthazars first acting appearance was Fantasy Girl in Jean Boucheux’ film Delicious Sake, and her convincing performance led the film to be selected for City of Lights, Troia Film Festival, as well as winning the award at the Festival of Nations in Austria.
Consequently, she got cast as the lead in another production by QUAD: Le Singe, Le mirror et Elle. This film, again, won at the Festival of Nations in Austria. Her consistent high-level performance and talent helped her to chart off her acting career with ease, by booking numerous other films produced by QUAD like Dolce Vita by famous Director Bruno Aveillan, who has left an indelible impression on viewers, critics, and the industry trades alike. Among Bruno’s awards are Cannes Lion, New York Festivals, D&AD, Clio, AICP. He’s also co directed spots with Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
Balthazar’s collaboration with Aveillan continued with the exceptional project “Discover the Light” in which she starred as the Lead and enchanted audiences in cinemas across the world.
Tina moved forward with a live-action role in the film Closed Door which was selected for the Brooklyn Film Festival. Her fascinating interpretation of scripts on a deeper level can be felt and seen on screen.
By the time Tina played Samantha in Hemoglobin, she had portrayed a range of characters which showed her immense skill of adapting to a universe with set guidelines, in which the characters interact. Hemoglobin was directed by Emmy Award winner Eddie Frente. For every actor, having a great director seems to enrich the overall experience as they have more to draw from later on in their next acting roles.
Balthazar continued gaining exposure with “Isn’t it Delicious”. In this feature film, she displays her Chameleon-like qualities with Tony-winning actress Alice Ripley, impressively.
Balthazar has proven her talent by the depth and breadth of her performances. It’s a mark of her extraordinary abilities that she has managed to incarnate characters so different from herself.
Her contribution to the film industry is recognized by many.
