This style of training features an actor aspiring to achieve complete emotional identification with a part, often staying in character even when the cameras stop rolling.

Method acting requires extreme dedication, determination and skill in order to successfully bring the character to life.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> Some of Hollywood\u2019s greatest performers adopted this approach, notably Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, Robert de Niro, Meryl Streep, and Daniel Day-Lewis, among an elite list of other silver screen stars. A slew of iconic and remarkable characters and performances are a direct result of method acting. Welsh actor Christian Bale is notorious for undergoing extreme physical transformations for his roles, while Leonardo DiCaprio infamously slept in an animal carcass to get into the mind of his <em>The Revenant <\/em>character Hugh Glass. Benedict Cumberbatch even chain-smoked until he got nicotine poisoning and refused to bathe for weeks at a time for <em>The Power of the Dog<\/em>.
