Method acting is a powerful acting technique where performers deeply immerse themselves in their roles by tapping into real-life emotions, memories, and experiences. Rooted in Konstantin Stanislavski’s early 20th-century work and later refined by Lee Strasberg, method acting aims to deliver raw, emotionally authentic performances. Used by legends like Daniel Day-Lewis and Heath Ledger, the method can blur the line between actor and character. Though praised for its intensity, it’s also criticized for its psychological toll. As modern actors adapt the method with balance, it remains one of cinema’s most compelling — and controversial — performance styles.
