To celebrate "The Godfather" turning 50 in 2022, The Hollywood Reporter sat down with actors James Caan, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire, and John Martino, who reflected on the creation and enduring legacy of director Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic masterpiece. Shire expressed her admiration for Marlon Brando's "breathtaking" transformation into the formidable Don Corleone.
"When he came to the set the first time, he was this handsome male," she recalled, but he utilized various makeup and acting techniques to transform himself into a weathered and wise mafioso, making him almost unrecognizable. The use of dental prosthetics gave Brando protruding jowls that made him resemble a bulldog, somehow lending Don Corleone a more dignified power.
Shire said that Brando also employed another unique performance method called "active listening" during filming. "It's not always when you say your lines that you pay attention; it is the listening to all the others around you.

Shia Labeouf’s stage debut in the world premiere of David Mamet’s Henry Johnson is extending its run.
The play, directed by The L Word: Generation Q showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan, will now close on Oct. 7 — two weeks after its original four-week run was expected to conclude on Sept. 24 — at The Electric Lodge in Venice, California.
In a statement posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Labeouf shared that he was “overjoyed to be involved” in the production. “The dedication of my dance partners is inspiring. The play is starting to pull us now,” he added.
The play follows “the plight of a man after an act of compassion upends his life,” according to the production.
“I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work with David Mamet. His talent and creativity are unparalleled, and it is truly an honor to collaborate with arguably our greatest living playwright,...

“Method acting” long ago lost its meaning.
Instead, it’s become a catchall to describe an intense commitment to getting it right on stage or screen. It’s an all-out approach that sees performers pack and shed pounds, feast on live cockroaches or raw bison, extract teeth or eschew showers, and remain in character between takes. Those are just a few examples of the extremes to which Robert De Niro, Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Shia Labeouf, Charlize Theron, Daniel Day-Lewis and their ilk push themselves in the service of their art. For their suffering, they receive Oscars and Emmys, along with a ton of media coverage — just look at the scores of pieces documenting the gonzo things Jared Leto has done each time one of his movies get released.
The payoff can be electrifying performances that blur the lines between character and actor. But it’s an approach...

Marco Brabilla's 1993 film "Demolition Man" was amusing when it was first released, but has become whimsically prescient as time has passed. Set largely in 2032, "Demolition Man" is a utopian film about how humanity has learned to be peaceful and to get along. They achieved this through an extreme right-wing televangelist messiah figure named Dr. Cocteau. People no longer touch physically, cussing is met by strict fines, and the only business to have survived the bloody Franchise Wars was Taco Bell, the fanciest restaurant in town. Anything that's bad for you is outlawed, including the consumption of salt. Most amusingly, toilet paper has been replaced by a technology that Sgt. John "The Demolition Man" Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) describes as "three seashells."
Audiences will get no points for guessing that this so-called utopia actually houses secrets, that poverty and oppression still exist, and that its bland sexlessness is actually a proper dystopia.

A lot is misunderstood about the Method.
Methos acting, originally called the Stanislavski System, was pioneered by Konstantin Stanislavski in his 1936 book "An Actor Prepares." In brief -- and it's far more involved than this -- the Method involved an acting that was based on the experienced emotions of the actor rather than mere representation. It is a Method actor's job to seek through their own psyche to find a similar motivational impulse as their character, and draw from it to create all the smaller, subconscious movements that a person would authentically display in that moment. A Method actor would constantly be asking themselves how they would personally react under a play's given circumstances.
Method approaches have famously brought some actors to undue extremes. One might have heard the story of Dustin Hoffman who, to match the fatigue of his character in "The Marathon Man," elected to actually stay up...

It takes a remarkably intense performance to get attention at the Academy Awards. Tortured performances from actors immersed in their characters, from the likes of Marlon Brando and Daniel Day-Lewis, set the bar high. But other well-regarded actors think investing so much off-screen dedication into a part isn’t worth the trouble. Either way, some of the most acclaimed film performances draw from the same intensive program: The Method. So, what is Method acting, and is it required to win the top acting awards at the Oscars?

Method acting, at its core, is an extreme form of immersion for actors. Performers dive into the minds of their characters, even when the cameras aren’t rolling. The process goes beyond rehearsing scenes and running lines. Actors like Day-Lewis stay in character the entire time they’re on set.

Actor Brian Cox has a big personality and a lot of opinions, and he's never afraid to share them. The veteran performer recently did a profile with Town and Country Magazine and dished on his career, his love for his "Succession" character Logan Roy, and his co-stars. When talking about Jeremy Strong, who plays Logan's son Kendall on the hit HBO series, he had some kind words but also chastised the actor's dedication to method acting. Cox is a classically trained actor who has starred in dozens of films and television shows, but he doesn't have a lot of patience for actors who stay in-character after the cameras stop rolling.

For Tom Hanks, "Big" was the movie that changed everything. Prior to his Oscar-nominated performance as Josh Baskin, a prepubescent kid who wakes up as a thirty-something grown man after wishing to be big, he was pretty much just that guy from "Bosom Buddies."
Sure, he'd done a few films between "Bosom Buddies" and landing the role that would net him his first Academy Award nod. Most of them leaned into his sitcom chops and portrayed his characters as smarmy, bumbling, out of their depth... or sometimes all three, like in "Volunteers." But thanks to a fortuitous sequence of events (including the likes of Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford passing on the role), Hanks landed one of his career-defining parts.
He had a couple misfires at the box office in the years to follow, most notably "The Bonfire of the Vanities," but soon enough he was back on track...

“There are no small roles,” said famed acting teacher Konstantin Stanislavski. Did he foresee the future of William Jackson Harper, whose addition to the cast of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has been confirmed by Disney sources?
What that role is for Harper is being kept under wraps for now. Harper is best known for starring as Chidi Anagonye in NBC’s multi-dimensional The Good Place, which should give him a proper background in shifting between universes. The Good Place role earned him an Emmy nomination for supporting comedy actor.
Harper joins Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas in the cast. All are reprising their roles from 2015’s Ant-Man and 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
The third film is expected to follow the Ant-Man team as they tangle with Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), the time-traveling overlord who resides in the microscopic universe of the Quantum Realm.

Few conversation topics get actors more riled up than “method acting.” The phrase, which originally referred to a specific style of thespian preparation as pioneered by Konstantin Stanislavsky, is now used as a catch-all term to describe actors going to extreme lengths to get inside the minds of their characters. Some of Hollywood’s most well-known actors have defended the practice, while others dismiss it as a waste of time that makes everyone on set uncomfortable.
Regardless of where you land on the approach’s merits, the renewed interest in the sometimes intense techniques actors employ to perform won’t be going anywhere any time soon. In a new interview with the New York Times, “The Sopranos” and soon-to-be “White Lotus” star Michael Imperioli reflected on some of his early years as an aspiring performer looking for guidance from the greats.

No more enjoyable conversation grudge match can be had than pitting James Dean against Marlon Brando in a Hollywood Heartthrob showdown. Which do prefer? The rough, raw honesty of Brando in László Benedek's "The Wild One," wherein he plays a humming, human motorcycle engine, tanked up on erotic, rebellious energy and living to subvert paradigms and dismiss 1950s squareness? Or the brooding, poetic angst of Dean in Nicholas Ray's "Rebel Without a Cause," a sensitive, mature soul -- even a little kooky -- who may sometimes let pride get the better of him, but who would be content to form his own blissful, star-gazing queer polycule with a pair of classmates.
Each of the actors was also sexually open at a time when queerness was notoriously repressed and pilloried; remember when Rock Hudson and Liberace were "ladies men"? Commonly attributed to Dean is the quote "No, I'm not homosexual.

By the time of Humphrey Bogart's final film performance, in 1956's "The Harder They Fall," the movie star had fallen gravely ill. His years of smoking and drinking climaxed with what would become fatal esophageal cancer, which cast an unmissable pall on his performance. And yet, he still brings his star-making qualities: the toughness and bitterness, the anger and wry sarcasm.
Because "The Harder They Fall" is just one of many noir-era movies about the boxing underworld, it gets less respect than Bogart's many classics. He hadn't even wanted to be in the movie, focusing his remaining energy in vain on another movie with his wife Lauren Bacall, according to Stefan Kanfer's Bogart biography "Tough Without a Gun." He had many reasons for not being interested in the movie, but the cast was a big one.

Andrew Garfield discussed method acting while sitting down for an interview on the podcast Wtf With Marc Maron. While preparing to play a Jesuit missionary in 2016’s Silence, which was directed by Martin Scorsese, Garfield discussed how he used method acting to defend it against the critics who call it completely useless.
“I’m kind of bothered by this idea that ‘method acting is fucking bullshit.’ People are still acting in that way, and it’s not about being an asshole to everyone on set,” Garfield told Marc Maron. “It’s actually just about living truthfully under imaged circumstances, and being nice to the crew simultaneously, and being a normal human being, and being able to drop it when you need to.”
Garfield also explained what exactly he did to prepare for his role as Sebastiāo Rodrigues. “I did a bunch of spiritual practices every day, I created new rituals for myself.

When movie fans hear the phrase "method acting," they likely associate the phrase with the horror stories of actors like Jared Leto making the set of "Morbius" an absolute nightmare, or the continued trend of romanticizing the extreme lengths actors go to prepare for "Batman" films. The ethics of method acting has been highly debated for years, with actors like Jon Bernthal and Andrew McCarthy both speaking out against the abuse of the practice, and the public's misunderstandings about what method acting actually entails. Method acting is built upon the principles of Konstantin Stanislavski, with groundbreaking theater educators Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Sanford Meisner developing their own techniques to enhance "The Method."

As actors ponder their Emmy acceptance speeches for September 12, one wonders whether some incipient Adrian Lester envy might creep into their thoughts. Lester, the Black British actor, won a Tony nomination for playing both a German Jewish banker and a female character in The Lehman Trilogy on Broadway. At the Emmys, actors like Jennifer Coolidge and Steve Martin will likely win kudos for essentially playing themselves, with great aplomb.
I empathize with the tensions facing actors today: They covet the opportunity to display their “range” but also understand the risks inherent in boundary crossing. Even Tom Hanks expresses regret for depicting a gay protagonist in 1993’s Philadelphia, and James Franco is catching it for playing Fidel Castro.

Daniel Day-Lewis' name has become nearly synonymous with the concept of Method acting, a concept that has a myriad of definitions. Essentially, it's a derivation of Konstantin Stanislavsky's idea of "The System," a way of performing that encourages emotions and reactions in the actor to be "real" as opposed to performed.
While the Method actor label has been applied to behavior ranging from an actor never breaking their accent while off-camera to Jared Leto sending his castmates disgusting packages during the making of "Suicide Squad," Day-Lewis' brand of Method acting has typically been held up as the ideal version of the concept, one...

The art form of acting is pretending to be someone you aren't. For Christian Bale, that process goes far beyond mental preparation. Bale punishes his own body to literally transform into the characters he portrays on screen.

The style was created by Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski and requires actors to connect emotionally with a character to deliver an authentic performance.

Laurence Olivier is an exemplary proponent of classical or Shakespearean acting. The performer's traditional approach to plays and films alike earned him worldwide acclaim in the 20th century, but it caused him to butt heads with the new school, coined by Konstantin Stanislavski as the Method. Method training was championed by Lee Strasberg and became popular among Hollywood stars like Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman, and Marilyn Monroe, who worked closely with Strasberg's second wife, Paula. Olivier did not respect the Method and consequently did not have much respect for American movie stars, either.

Acting is a pretty unique career, with a variety of ways to approach any given role. One tactic for getting into character is called "method acting," developed by Russian actor and theater founder Konstantin Stanislavski around the turn of the 20th century. Stanislavski's "method" was based in authenticity and understanding, demanding that the performer put themselves in the mindset of their character as much as possible. Unfortunately, a century later, method acting has become something else, with performers staying "in character" the entire time they're on set, or worse, the entire time they're working on a production. While some of these method performances have been...

Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski laid out the rules for a revolutionary new system of acting in his 1936 book "An Actor Prepares." In this new system, actors were meant to cultivate what he called an "art of experiencing" as opposed to an "art of representation." This means that actors were meant to find a place wherein they could actually experience the emotions that their character would be experiencing -- usually by drawing on a similar event in their own lives. This stood counter to older schools of acting that depended on rote memorization and communicating certain kinds of established physical emotional signifiers. It's the...

The Chinese festival is set to run from Sept. 17 to Sept. 30 as an in-person event after being pushed back from its typical April release date due to the pandemic. Given its close ties to Chinese film authorities, it is often a platform to showcase works from countries with which China hopes to strengthen political ties.
The Russian Film Festival is a program targeting international audiences via a series of online screenings organized by state-run Roskino and backed by Russia’s ministry of culture, in response to the global shutdown of cinemas amid the pandemic.
