Clicked for a smart critique of the show, ended up finding a rousing treatise in support of the CRAFT and CONTEXT that goes into the deep work of an actor! Heck yes! blowhards like McConaughey and Leto can get away with their self-involved, pious statements, because we let them subscribe to the commonsense notion that actors are inspired by gods. I’m not disparaging the religious faith of many artists, which I know is sincere and motivating. But some artists ascribe their work to gods or a mysterious muse, instead of describing in detail the hard work and informed choices that go into creating characters or devising stage or film images, choices that resonate in a social context in which they mean something.
