Ed Kovens (1934–2007) was an American SAG, AFTRA, and AEA actor. Furthermore he was a Method acting instructor based in New York City. He was a member of The Actor's Studio and worked with the legendary Lee Strasberg. BiographyNew York-bred Ed Kovens became a professional actor at 19 after acting and directing in high school and college. While studying at New York University in acting and directing, Kovens worked as a stand-up comic, did small parts and extra work in film and TV (mainly because of his age); directed some plays and reviews and did some Off-Off-Broadway leads. In 1957, he started studying with Lee Strasberg in a small studio above the Capitol Theatre, then at Carnegie Hall, and subsequently, at the Actor's Studio (where he became a member in 1968) until Strasberg's death in 1982. In 1965, a bunch of Strasberg students asked Kovens to form an exercise class - Strasberg's classes were packed, they wanted to work, and they felt Kovens had some expertise. Some major stars now, who were Strasberg's students then, were in that group. In 1969, he became a founding staff member of the Lee Strasberg Institute. In 1974, he left the Strasberg Institute and formed his own classes, called The'>Professional Workshop. Kovens having taught for over 40 years is one of the most experienced Method Acting teachers in the world. In 2006, Kovens wrote and published The Method Manual, a book for actors and teachers of acting. Ed Kovens died on August 21, 2007.
