Tim Curry, Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, and Sir Patrick Stewart

The first and last ones...yes.

A transvestite, a gay guy, a racist and a bald dude?...

Sure, I'll accept that.

What about Clint Eastwood?

way too much of a method actor.

Seriously, think of one movie in which he doesn't play a jaded badass...

Don't you mean He's to typecast as a jaded badass? Method Acting is where an actor can practically believably become anybody isn't it? I know Daniel Day Lewis is considered an incredible method actor.

Typecast, that's the one. I couldn't think of the word.

And yes, Daniel Day Lewis is a ridiculous method actor. He never left the wheelchair during the filming of My Left Foot, caught pneumonia because he wouldn't change out of period clothing in Gangs of New York, learned to throw knives (and still shows off sometimes) for Gangs of New York, had a professional heavyweight champ teach him to box during filming of The Boxer, and finally...he lived in the fucking woods, alone, for half a year...in order to prepare himself for The Last of the Mohicans.

You're. Fucking. Kidding. Me.

Seriously? Jesus, I've always thought he was a really good actor, but I never realized he was like that.

I hope they never offer him the role of playing Mary Kate and Ashley. He'd probably lose 100 pounds, chop off his wiener and go schizophrenic just to put in a good show.

what's more...

In The Name of the Father: slept in an abandoned jail and ate exclusively prison food

The Crucible: lived the entire time they were filming inside the film's set piece village, no running water or electricity, and built his character's house using 17th century tools.


yeah, he's nuts. I'm in awe of him.



Also, Jared Leto in Chapter 27...dude needed to gain 60 pounds...so he ate microwaved ice cream in olive oil and whole pizzas.
