We talk openly about my time playing Tony Tucker in Rise of the Footsoldier and how stepping into that world didn’t just stay on set. When you live and breathe a character long enough, it can start bleeding into real life. We discuss how intense roles can affect mindset, behaviour, relationships and even identity.We also break down some of the most famous examples of method acting in Hollywood, from Jim Carrey’s many transformations, to Heath Ledger’s haunting portrayal of the Joker, and Daniel Day-Lewis’ legendary full-immersion performances. Where’s the line between dedication and obsession? And when does “commitment to the craft” become something darker?This isn’t about criticising great performances, it’s about asking the bigger question... How far is too far?Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Is method acting genius… or dangerous? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Murder in Miami iHeartPodcasts In the 1980s crime journalist Phil Stanford dove into the decadent and dangerous world of Miami just as the city was becoming the cocaine- and murder- capital of the United States. His path would place him in the crosshairs of a federal investigation focusing on a mysterious and controversial drug smuggling pilot who claimed to be an operative of the American government- all while flaunting his extensive illicit activity. Murder in Miami traces the connection between the murder of a missing Miami private investigator to the sprawling roots of an international money laundering scheme as Stanford tries to make sense of his role in a surreal story of spies, smugglers, killers and corruption. All reaching to the highest levels on both sides of the law.
