By modern standards, this style was quite superficial and had nothing in common with natural human behavior. The work of Stanislavsky\/Strasberg would change the look and sound of modern acting forever.

As you\u2019d expect, the training you receive in these schools is considerably different, although there is some common ground as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"a4yOF NlrTp WzoeH SeNKp\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-46pjm\"><span class=\"lMv7L\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>Misunderstandings<\/span><\/em><span> about the Method spring largely from <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>overblown media <\/span><\/em><span>coverage of famous actors doing \u201ccrazy\u201d things in their prep and performance of roles. The tragic death of <\/span><u style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span>Heath Ledger <\/span><\/u><span>is a good example of this. Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs during a bout of insomnia, after completing work on a Batman movie, where he played the sociopathic Joker. An almost immediate rumor went viral that Ledger had <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>become crazy<\/span><\/em><span>, in order to <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>play a crazy<\/span><\/em><span> character and subsequently killed himself to escape his own madness. The only crazy thing about this story is just how big it blew up and how the blame got pinned on Method acting, instead of the MD who prescribed way too much medication for the poor guy. Look, I\u2019ve known hundreds of working actors and by and large, they\u2019re as<\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span> sane<\/span><\/em><span> a group of people as the next. Some are a bit less sane than others but I would attribute their wackiness more to their family&#8217;s DNA than I would their actor&#8217;s training.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"a4yOF NlrTp WzoeH SeNKp\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-8rs29\"><span class=\"lMv7L\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>Fine, so if Method Acting isn\u2019t going to make you crazy, then maybe it\u2019s not so bad? Well, actors have been getting trained this way for about 75 years, so there must to be some benefit to it. From <\/span><strong style=\"font-weight:700\"><span>Marlon Brando to Al Pacino to Charlize Theron<\/span><\/strong><span>, actors have been using the Method in their careers and they\u2019ve all done pretty well. So what\u2019s the secret to this \u201cmethod\u201d? Honestly, <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>there is no secret<\/span><\/em><span>, <\/span><u style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span>it\u2019s a system of approaching characters, situations and written material with the goal of bringing it to believable life.<\/span><\/u><span> The training that I received back in the 90\u2019s was a fusion of all three schools, though the emphasis was on Strasberg\u2019s teachings. There\u2019s no way to distill years of study into a few pages but I can give you a few of the key concepts that we work with in class.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"a4yOF NlrTp WzoeH SeNKp\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-qng7\"><span class=\"lMv7L\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color:#578284;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>Working with substitutions just means using sense memory \u201cpersons\u201d and \u201cplaces\u201d from your own past and plugging them into your present circumstances. <\/span><\/span><span>In other words, instead of working with an actor\/character who doesn\u2019t make you feel an emotion, you\u2019re working with a sensory person from your past, who<\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span> actually<\/span><\/em><span> makes you <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>feel that emotion<\/span><\/em><span>. Why settle for less than the real thing, right? Memory is kind of a slippery thing but it is accessible, you just have to figure out what triggers it. Sometimes it\u2019s a <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>smell<\/span><\/em><span>, or an<\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span> image<\/span><\/em><span>, or a <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>touching<\/span><\/em><span> an object from our past \u2014 the formula is always different but the approach remains the same. It\u2019s a little like Alice walking through the looking glass \u2014 after you do it the first time, it just gets easier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"a4yOF NlrTp WzoeH SeNKp\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-9lbnb\"><span class=\"lMv7L\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><span>I do want to point out that while you\u2019re working with these tools, <\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span>you never stop being anybody but yourself.<\/span><\/em><span> Certainly, we\u2019ve all heard the stories about actors getting lost in their characters but those are myths, I don\u2019t know any actor that\u2019s ever gotten this kind of character amnesia, it\u2019s just not true.
