I think you missed my point.  The fidgeting is just a
motion, an indicator, if there is not something deeper
within the character that motivates it.  Fer instance,
a lousy actor would indicate anxiety by tapping on a
table while someone like Glen Close could communicate
it with her eyes.

I wasn't doing that at all.  I think animators are an
immensely talented group and deserve kudos.  I'm just
saying that they cannot create what life action films
can.
