      I'll transcribe here what I said about Pattinson in my original comment because I think it's very relevant>
      "As for Hayden Christensen, you make a GREAT point. I don't see him as that good an actor overall, but the way people went after him for the SW prequels was way too vicious and completely killed his career. Looking it from your angle, makes it even more unjust. I'm reminded of Robert Pattinson, who was TERRIBLE in the Twilight movies from the scenes I saw here and there, but since it was all the rage at the time and everyone was in love with him, he was given the chance to do incredible work in prestigious directors' movies like Cosmopolis (David Cronemberg), Good time (Safdie Brothers) and Tenet (Christopher Nolan). The thing about Twilight, it seems, is that he had absolutely no respect for the material, which I honestly understand."

      @@JuPaschoal it wasn't exactly that he had no respect for the material, although after his fame exploded he did kinda feel that way about the franchise since he loathed how people started to act towards him, but it was that he initially had a different idea of how Edward would behave & about his motivations than the directors/producers did so he went in doing his initial version since that was how he prepared. They hated it. He had to completely revamp mid-project in order to keep his job. That's why the movie feels a bit like he is flipping back & forth between personalities. They didn't reshoot the earlier takes so it just kinda feels discombobulated somehow & a little uncanny valley. (My daughters were obsessed so I ended up living Twilight mania.)
      After the first one where seemingly overnight the resulting fame made his life extraordinarily difficult, he started hating everything about it. He supposedly hates the franchise much less these days.

I never read the books or sat to watch any of the movies (although from all the posts and commentary I've come across throughout the years I'm pretty sure I have all the scenes covered lol), but I watched quite a few clips of his interviews during actual promotion for the movies, not even later on, and his DVD commentary and he's always making fun not only of the movies and how they look, but the books and the way the author writes as well (not only him, by the way, Kristen Stewart was often with him and in the exact same vibe). Looking at his career post-Twilight, seems clear to me that he took the gig for little to nothing more than money and exposure and was on autopilot throughout, you know? The guy is an INCREDIBLE actor and I'm glad he was able to outlive Edward.

    The bad example of method acting
    Jared Leto: He did random things that didn’t actually fit the character, for the sake of “method acting” (he really just wanted to be a dick)
    And an example of good method acting
    Christian Bale never speaking with his actual accent on set (convinced his co-workers he was American unintentionally)
    Learned to (essentially) sweat on command (it’s physically impossible to do it as described but it’s close to what happened)
    Didn’t do creepy stuff to people he worked with, just acted the same way he would if the cameras were rolling on a scene where he had to act “sane”

But just acting normal? I just straight up forget every normal human interaction I’ve ever had. You don’t remember what it’s like to feel mundane emotions because they just don’t stand out.

    about method acting: jared leto's behaviour to "prepare" for his role as the joker is just the epitome of all the problems with method acting these days. i appreciate method acting, but hollywood has completely ruined it and turned this style of acting into a marketing gimmick. like, if an actor says they had to do insane things to prepare for the role, the movie will be branded as a must-see and an amazing work of art.

      I have a theory about this and it's basically that actors are trying to justify their insanely high salary by showing us (or themselves) that they deserve it since they psychologically torture themselves for a 10 minutes part in a movie. I don't think it's the whole thing but I wouldn't be surprised if it was part of it.

    Danny Pudi is one of my favorite actors currently because he really embodies every character he plays, like you genuinely can believe that the characters he plays are fully realized people, even if the writing is weird or stiff, he puts /something/ into every performance that just brings the character to life. I think his talent is especially shown in his role as Abed- like there are points where he has to Act like he’s Acting while staying in character as the character he’s acting, and he pulls it off. He’s incredible at facial expressions and subtle physical acting (if you watch him as Brad vs Abed his mannerisms are entirely different it’s actually kind of scary, there have been times where my brain genuinely couldn’t reconcile that the two characters were played by the same person.)
    I’ve seen him in some truly awful movies, where the writing is weird and the directing is weird, and even then he manages to make the character come to life.
    I could go on about it forever tbh, Danny Pudi is an incredible actor and deserves more recognition.

He stayed away from the crew and other actors while not filming! He didn't say terrible things or send people used condoms. He just acted like an asshole by not speaking to anyone.

    As I am an actor myself, your take on REACTION is true. Very hard. But if you have such good acting partners whom, even though the cameras are not on them but they chose to “act on that scene” behind the cameras just to help you have the real humans to react upon, THAT IS CALLED GENEROUS ACTORS.
    This happened in The Walking Dead. Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes stayed on the set and acted on his lines behind the cameras just for Norman Reedus as Daryl to help him have best close up shots.
    Normal actors won’t do that because it means they have to work harder, longer for nothing (because they are not in the shots). So the actors on set need to act with the cardboard (of the acting partner) or the AD who just read the lines to you.

      This is so true. My sister was in a small production of Les Misérables as part of the ensemble. All of the background characters were told to improvise their actions while the main cast were singing/doing their thing. Long story short, her character was in the back trying to sell a head of lettuce, and a kid pretended to be interested before snatching it and running away. It was funny to watch her chase after him in shock knowing that she actually hadn't expected that to happen.

    In The Silence of the Lambs, Anthony Hopkins allowed for a natural and tentative chemistry to unfold between his and Jodie Foster's characters by not interacting with her outside of each take - a simple, highly effective, and respectful way of involving your acting process off set/in real life. Meanwhile, Jared Leto sent ANIMAL CARCASES to his cast mates (just thinly veiled, gross harassment) and still gave a shit performance. Method acting isn't your free for all excuse to be a menace.

    As a professional paid actor I’m shocked at how much you know for someone that’s not trained. “Acting is reacting” is the staple line that everyone has heard, but things like “as humans we try to be okay” is something so many working actors don’t know. We as humans don’t like being vulnerable so we try not to cry. We try not to rage. But our investment has to be equal to our reaction. If you are invested and present with your scene partner then you will automatically give those reaction shots because “the body does not lie”. If you aren’t invested then you just look like surprised pikachu. The best compliment you can ever get is “I didn’t even realise you were acting”.

He’s shows emotions of pure joy while he’s enacting his plans. He plays the character like he is the only sane man in the room.

    7:11 Yeah, I also went back and rewatched them, and the entirety of the 3 original Spiderman movies makes SO much more sense if, at any time someone is talking to Peter, you imagine there's a cymbal monkey hammering away inside his head. He acts like he genuinely doesn't understand how human interactions are supposed to work. And you know what? It fits perfectly with the script he's given.
    I had also completely forgotten just how much J.K. Simmons absolutely just highway robbery's every scene he's in. The way he delivers his snappy comebacks were Oscar worthy

    The best actors are the people you'll see interviews of and be absolutely shocked by their personalities. The best example i can think of off the top of my head is Stephanie Beatriz in brooklyn 99. She plays a cold cop who has no emotions but anger, she's super unfriendly and very disconnected from people and their feelings but, you see an interview and Stephanie is full of joy and energy and is a complete 180.
    Andy Samberg on the other hand, plays the exact same character in every single show/movie he's ever been in which is just, himself

    Another aspect of good acting to me, that Drew only marginally touched on in this video, is making people hate you. Just think of Joffrey Baratheon from GOT and how much hype was generated on the internet at them time, just around people hating this character. Jack Gleeson played this character's arrogance, carelessness and egoism, but also its basis in a backround of being a spoiled but insecure mommy's boy, so well and so convincing, that literal millions of people felt the need to express their hate for this fictitious character for years and reveled in his on-screen death.

      Joffrey is still probably the most hated character in GOT despite the show's amazing villains/anti-heroes portrayed by amazing actors (Tywin, Cersei, Ramsey, Roose, the High Sparrow etc.) and it's in large part due to Jack's performance adding a certain annoying realistic aspect to an almost cartoonishly evil character.

      A lot of people say Shelley Duvall's performance in the Shining is horrible, but imo is hands down an amazing performance (and was better than Jack's). While a lot of the performances in these compilations are fantastic, the people (let's be real, dudebros) making them are very clearly a specific kind of person, who I'd rather not be around. They seem to idolize these usually violent characters, rather than acknowledge the talent of the actors and the other actors that are supporting them in the scene. Vince Gilligan himself said the reason why Skylar White is hated in Breaking Bad is because the fans are misogynistic.

      I mean Julia Garner’s end-of-her-rope yelling in Ozark in the new season was masterful. The build-up as she’s tossed among people who have betrayed her, used her, and mistreated her repeatedly and as she’s never shy with her anger, but never really blows up, until this moment where too much was taken from her. And first big thing that happens in the public response? It’s memed to death. And I’m not against things being memed (some of the memes are pretty funny), but it says a lot that the first time I saw something about her performance after seeing it in the show was it being made into a joke. Her anger is not just being seen as her being a bitch or trying too hard. It is being treated as a joke.

    One of the best acting performances I've ever seen, hands down, is Bill Hader on "Barry" (honestly, I’m surprised Drew didn’t even bring it up in the video). It's always such a visceral whiplash to realize "Oh wait. This is the same exact guy who played Stefon on SNL. What in the absolute f**k?! How can Bill Hader be so laugh-out-loud funny in one scene and then act with such a raw, terrifying anger or such a vulnerable, palpable sadness in the next?!?!” He’s just THAT talented and it’s enough to send any actor worth his salt into a jealous rage trying to figure out how he pulls off such a delicate tightrope. Somehow, he manages to keep a murderous assassin who does terrible things and murders people in order to cover up his crimes extremely sympathetic. His facial expressions are incredible and amazing, as well!
