Jon Bernthal is sharing his thoughts on “method acting” and why that term has been abused lately in the media.
The 45-year-old actor was photographed while stepping out for the premiere of his new HBO limited series We Own This City on Thursday (April 21) in New York City.
Jon was joined at the event by co-stars Jamie Hector, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Josh Charles with wife Sophie Flack, Rob Brown, David Corenswet, Don Harvey, Larry Mitchell, Ian Duff, Delaney Williams, and Gabrielle Carteris, as well as director Reinaldo Marcus Green.
In a new interview with THR, Jon talked about “method acting” and if the word has been abused.
“Absolutely. And that’s why these conversations are difficult for me, honestly, because every actor has a process,” Jon said. “Having studied in Moscow at the Moscow Art Theater, I guarantee you that making everybody call you by your character name and not showering for eight months was not what Stanislavski had in mind with the Method. But at the end of the day, these sacred seconds between action and cut, that’s all we got. So that means that I got to stay in proximity to that role, close to those sacred seconds, that I’m not on a cellphone or eating Chinese food or making plans for the evening. But if I’m talking like Wayne and I’m acting like Wayne, because it’s going to help those seconds, I think you got to do that. And sometimes that’s a day, sometimes it’s a week, sometimes it’s five minutes. But I think this idea of Method acting where George was only allowed to call me Wayne, I don’t roll like that. I don’t see any benefit in that.”
The six-episode series We Own This City premieres on HBO on April 25.

That piece, which was published in December, documented the extremes that Strong was willing to take in order to create his performances, including asking to be tear-gassed for a scene in “Trial of the Chicago 7.”The blowback to the story was intense — both from supporters of the actor, who claimed it misrepresented his commitment to his craft, as well as from detractors who believed it was an example of Method acting taken to self-indulgent extremes.

told GQ that he was astonished to be cast in the series, based on Paul Schrader’s 1980 film starring Richard Gere.Focused on a male escort who becomes entangled in a murder, the movie became iconic for Gere showing off full-frontal nudity.“I do not believe that I possess any kind of natural sex appeal,” Bernthal told the outlet. “I’ve always looked at myself as this weird-looking guy.”The “Wolf of Wall Street” alum went on to say that his costume included “a fancy suit and some shoes that hurt my feet,” a “goofy” shirt and many gold chains.“It’s crazy to me,” Bernthal said. “But it scares me — and that’s why I’m gonna see it through.”Bernthal is also starring in Lena Dunham’s 2022 Sundance film “Sharp Stick.” However, he said he took on both scandalous roles with “a real palpable sense of, ‘I’m the wrong guy for this.

It’s disappointing to report that, contrary to its IMDb page, Treat Williams does not appear in all six episodes of “We Own This City,” George Pelecanos and David Simon’s new HBO miniseries, adapted from the book by Justin Fenton. But the good news is that when he finally does turn up in the penultimate episode, the show has generated such weight that his appearance has the proper power; for an epic saga of police corruption, nothing could feel more like the Pope giving his blessing than a cameo by the star of “Prince of the City.” READ MORE: The 70 Most Anticipated TV Shows & Mini-Series Of 2022 And that 1981 Sidney Lumet film really does feel like the template for “We Own This City,” perhaps more than Simon’s previous work – even “The Wire,” its most obvious point of comparison, to say nothing of the cops-and-dealers angles of “The Corner” or the knotty politics of “Show Me a Hero.” Lumet’s film told the true story of an elite unit of hotshot cops that helped themselves to copious money and contraband in ‘70s-era New York City; this miniseries tells the true story of similar unit, the Gun Trace Task Force, engaging in similar activities in Baltimore in the early 2000s.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore, told GQ about his process and criticised actors who don’t drop character.“Preparation, you can take into insanity,” Mikkelsen said. “What if it’s a shit film – what do you think you achieved? Am I impressed that you didn’t drop character? You should have dropped it from the beginning! How do you prepare for a serial killer? You gonna spend two years checking it out?”Discussing renowned method actor Daniel Day-Lewis and imagining what it would be like to work together, Mikkelsen said: “I would have the time of my life, just breaking down the character constantly.“‘I’m having a cigarette? This is from 2020, it’s not from 1870 – can you live with it?’ It’s just pretentious.”The actor went on to say the media plays a role in the way method acting is praised, explaining: “The media goes, ‘Oh my god, he took it so seriously, therefore he must be fantastic; let’s give him an award.’ Then that’s the talk, and everybody knows about it, and it becomes a thing.” Meanwhile, Mikkelsen’s Fantastic Beasts co-star Ezra Miller was recently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment.According to a public statement obtained by The Guardian, Hawaii police allege Miller had become “agitated” and began “yelling obscenities” at other people in a bar singing karaoke last month.The actor reportedly then “grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts.

“The Wire” is widely regarded as one of the best shows on television and certainly one of the best shows HBO has ever produced. So fans of that show will want to catch “We Own The City,” a new series from “The Wire” creator and writer David Simon, his producing partner George Pelecanos (who co-created the HBO series “The Deuce” with Simon) and director by Reinaldo Marcus Green, who is coming off the success and Best Actor win of his most recent film, “King Richard.” The three of them have teamed up for “We Own This City’ which is a series about Baltimore Cops, specifically Baltimore’s failed Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force.

Zack Sharf Method acting was all the rage this past awards season thanks to performances by Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Power of the Dog” and “House of Gucci” duo Lady Gaga and Jared Leto, but that style of acting doesn’t fly for Mads Mikkelsen. The actor recently told GQ UK that Method acting is “bullshit” and “pretentious.” Mikkelsen has learned new skills for roles, including how to speak different languages and how to ride horses and fight with swords, but he’s never taken his preparation to the level of Method acting.“It’s bullshit,” Mikkelsen said when asked about Method acting.
