Meaning of the quote

Getting your feelings and thoughts across without being able to talk can be really hard. But actor Verne Troyer thought it was a good challenge to do this in his acting. Even without using words, he was able to show what his character was thinking and feeling. This is an important skill for actors to have, as they need to use their body language and facial expressions to tell the story.
