On Acting is a book by Laurence Olivier. It was first published in 1986 when the actor was 79 years old. It consists partly of autobiographical reminiscences, partly of reflections on the actor's vocation.

A guide to acting by one of the most celebrated English actors of the century, drawing on his extensive experience in stage and film acting.

It is the natural successor to Lord Olivier’s bestselling CONFESSIONS OF AN ACTOR. It is a personal and candid record of his stage and screen career, from his early success in Henry V at the old Vic in 1937, to his triumphant television King Lear in 1983. Both entertaining and educational, it offers a revealing portrait of the actor as craftsman and a unique insight into the world of the theatre.
