There is no overacting, only untrue acting.
Meaning of the quote
This quote suggests that there is no such thing as "overacting" - where someone acts in a way that is too exaggerated or unrealistic. Instead, the actor is simply not portraying the character truthfully or authentically. Great acting captures the true essence of a character, without any unnecessary or fake expressions or behaviors.
