This article aims to analyze the acting system in film of the Brazilian actor Wilson Grey according to the actor-author theory (McGILLIGAN, 1975), highlighting elements that make the actor’s work have an impression of thematic and formal constants. Grey has the ability to go through different phases of Brazilian cinema and, at the same time, maintain a coherent and uniform acting system, according to some premises that aim to break with the transparency of the classic performance and the claim of the citational and distant gesture, building a persona along the lines of movie stars, although he cannot be considered entirely one. This article aims to propose a methodology for film analysis that includes the actor at the center of reflections, broadening discussions based on issues related to image and narrative construction.
