Observe a man who is close to you, like your father or a brother etc. Watch how he carries himself when he walks, shakes hands, stands still while talking etc.
I played a man in "All's Well That Ends Well" when I was 15, I observed my father very closely for about a month. Try to match the character you're portraying to the personality type of someone close to you, it'll help you be more convincing. (i.e. If you're playing Tom Sawyer, someone without very much respect for authority or an adventurous type, observe a man who enjoys the outdoors and is fiercely independent.)
Have your shoulders kind of hunched so you're slouching, and walk with your feet apart. Like you know how girls walk with one foot right in front of the other, don't do that. Maybe have your hands in your pockets. You could try searching videos of guys walking down the street or something on youtube. haha
Hands in pockets.. dont overthink it.
James Stewart.
This depends on the character.
If it is just some dude that is like present time sort of guy like an american gangster then be slouched and sort of look away once in awhile because we tend to do that. Act like you don't care most of the time. And have that aggressive "What?!?" to your face. Then sit back and let it flow.
