He was great in Black Mass...and even better in Sherlock.

I admire actors like Cumberbatch and Daniel Day-Lewis who immerse themselves into their characters and produce outstanding performances, but I’d never carry it far enough to start smoking. Poisoning yourself for your art is unreasonable IMO!

He’s really good but Jeremy Brett is probably a click better.

I don’t admire actors who have to “become the person” to become the character. Bogart didn’t do that. Jimmy Stewart didn’t do that. Spencer Tracy didn’t do that. Orson Wells didn’t do that.
It is called “acting”. You should be able to act without having to duplicate the entire life experience of the character. Great actors don’t need to do that.

Years ago I worked for a packing house & a bunch of cows escaped. Got most of them back but we had one cow who wouldn’t go back no matter what we did so the Humane Society came and darted her. Guy told us they shot her with pure nicotine. We had to keep her in a pen for a week to let her system work the nicotine out before they butchered her.

Even those who have heard of him generally don’t realize he had a role in the Lord of the Rings as the Necromancer.

People were generally tougher 40-50 years ago. “Nicotine poisoning” was considered a head buzz back then.

Even those who have heard of him generally don’t realize he had a role in the Lord of the Rings as the Necromancer.And, I believe, the voice of Smaug in Peter Jackson's version of "The Hobbit".
