When we talk about a film or TV actor off-screen, we mean their life when they are not acting — not in front of the camera, not in the story. Magazines love this: who they date off-screen, whether two people who look in love on-screen are cold off-screen. The pair is on-screen: in the film or on the TV picture. Though actually, off-screen can also mean a sound or event that happens in the story but is not shown in the picture — you hear a door, you do not see it. For the meaning filed here, keep the actor in mind: this is the person when they have stopped acting.
