I absolutely agree - inspiring students is key to great teaching. And inspiration doesn't come from conveying knowledge - how boring! I hadn't thought of it as acting, however. Interesting.
On a different note - loved watching BC embody Smaug - wow!
I agree. But then Benedict Cumberbatch is pretty cool too. Plus, you have to love that his father was his inspiration - that his father read the LotR series to him as a kid and he acted out each part. Which circles back on what you were saying about teaching through acting. The way his dad read these books had a profound impact on his son, not only engaging him in the content but inspiring him toward his future career. Pretty cool.
