Many of the great movie actors were minor, failed, or natural stage actors, or not actors at all e.
Other actors, frustrated by their lack of control, turn to politics or other outside ventures on which they can leave the marks they choose. Some, of course, become directors and some become great ones. Hoffman had a fury for acting and a virtuoso technique that he yoked, brilliantly, to it. But that supreme artifice became, in turn, a block to the expression of passion, and to make it real he dug deeper and burned brighter—and, then, found the gestures to show it.
The connection of his inner life and outer skill generated a sort of emotional short circuit that overheated him terrifyingly, resulting in the justly admired intensity that he brought to every role—which was also, however, a sign of an actor giving more of himself, moment by moment, than an actor should ever be called upon, or need, to give.
Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. Wolfe again, from the documentary about Elaine Stritch:. He was brash, bold, and brimming with machismo. Brando never went to the extremes of those who came after him, but his career and outlook provide the template for those who see themselves as his successors.
Beyond his obsessive dedication to the form, Brando was self-deprecating about his choice of career. By going method, a performer can signal that he works for his art; he can make his labor visible. This is just not something to be quite as proud of as many people would have you believe.
In his post- Titanic career, DiCaprio has been outspoken about wanting to be viewed as a real artist rather than as just an object of female desire.
As of late he has embodied, more than anyone else, the idea of acting as an endurance test as David Sims has written for The Atlantic. This often leads to performances that feel far too studied, in which every choice seems obvious. He ate wild bison liver despite being vegetarian, put his life on the line wading into freezing rivers, and even slept in an animal carcass. This can even apply to male performers like Brad Pitt, who is discussed much differently than his method peers.
Actors like DiCaprio are about their own performance above all else, sometimes to the detriment of the film itself. More so than their male counterparts, actresses have to make careful calculations to protect their career trajectories.
Just look at the career of Davis, who often pushed the studio head Jack Warner for better roles, angered directors for her insistence on improving scripts, and often did her own makeup to the chagrin of everyone involved—even though it added to her performances.
