Jack Garfein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack Garfein, born July 2, 1930 in Mukacevo, Carpathian Ruthenia, Czechoslovakia (now Mukacheve, Ukraine), is an acting teacher and former motion picture and theater director.

Garfein survived imprisonment at Auschwitz and came to the US at the end of World War II. He joined the Actors Studio and married his fellow student, actress Carroll Baker.

Garfein directed TV shows, Broadway plays and three films. One was an offbeat 1961 independent film Something Wild, which starred Baker as a young rape victim held as captive by the man who rescued her from suicide. Baker and Garfein later divorced.

Baker and Garfein had one daughter, actress Blanche Baker, and a son, Herschel Garfein.

Garfein went on to direct numerous off-Broadway plays[1].

He is one of the most experienced teachers of Method Acting having been instructing for almost forty years now. Garfein mostly teaches acting in Paris at Le Studio Jack Garfein, and in Los Angeles. Sometimes giving exclusive trainings in different countries, he was recently leading a series of master classes for film students and industry professionals at the University of the Arts London, in January 2007.
