if i were an actor, i dont know if i could take someone seriously who does this.
Especially if they're overly serious about it.

And people will put up with it if they are good or a big name.

Whatever gets the juices flowing i guess

I think method acting is so stupid, but he literally played a psychopath - I can totally understand why it would be hard for him to just switch back and forth in this case. In fact, I’d probably be more at unease with him if he COULD do that.

I'm not an actor, but I'd rather work with someone who is shut in trying to get into character than an asshole who plays dumb pranks on set and uses "method acting" to justify themselves.

slightly related sorta kinda, as it triggered a memory.

Back in the day, it was always talk-show fodder about how George Clooney would play elaborate pranks on co stars. Nothing mean spirited or anything, but i just remember how there was a time i used to watch talk shows, because thats where you'd see celebs outside of a movie.

The nostalgia of Jay Leno, Letterman, and Conan just hit me

I have the same problem with really serious people. I'm a silly goose, and if I have to be around very serious people for a while I get so uncomfortable and self-concious.

I know this is different because I'm not acting but I absolutely hate it when the goofy, extroverted co-workers expect me to be goofy and extroverted to fulfill their needs. Like no... I come to get my work done and get paid. I don't want to sit there and be forced to socialize, especially if I'm under a time crunch.
