1. This is really interesting and I’m glad they had this discussion. I have long said similar things but my one acting experience (just school/community stuff, my only pro experience is in writing) doesn’t compare at all so it’s very much from the outside looking in. I respect method done well but you’ve gotta have good results and you can’t ignore your impact on the people around you.

2. He was intimidating but the guy who asked you to preform oral sex on screen isn’t?

3. Meanwhile Paul Dano is getting slapped around in the mud by Daniel Day Lewis.

4. Sounds like it was more of a problem with a director that didn’t know how to communicate and convey context to the actors.

   I would love to hear what willem dador thought cause he was performing at the same caliber.
