I really don't subscribe to any one acting technique per se , they all have so many wonderful aspects . I kind of take a little from all of them and draw from my own personal discipline that I'm comfortable with and I find that works best for me . I will tell you the first time I ever really got totally lost in a character was when I was doing a film called The Descending my character Ronny was a bad dude and in real life I'm not , we're complete opposites in every way . So I had to totally disconnect from myself and my memories and personal beliefs and fill my head with an imaginary life I thought this guy would have and everyday it became more real . Even the director said it was scary to watch . I really didn't realize what I created until the first screening when this gentleman in the audience got up and said I can't watch this guy I hate him he's a piece of sh## , he was so mad at my character . I guess I did my job because that's what was written down on paper , a very bad dude . I became this character it was exhilarating and scary reflecting back on it now . Show less «
