I REALLY suck at explaining so I hope this makes some sort of sense. This is the trope for when a characters ability to emote isnt thanks to the actor but rather the context. If a neutral character isnt really making a face or reacting to anything, but audiences are able to catch the "meaning" the director intended because the context, A Hero witnessing war crimes and is appalled at the senseless loss of life... But this is because the actor's neutrality is used to convoy meaning via means outside the actor.
