other Why is it dangerous for actors to go to extreme lengths for their roles?

[Alamson]

This is known as method acting and it has been around for over a hundred years. It entails an actor immersing himself in his role by trying to experience the emotions of his character. It helps actors to genuinely understand and relate to their characters. Robert De Niro had to work as a taxi driver for his role in "Taxi Driver". Marlon Brando had to stay in a hospital bed for some time for his role in "The Men". Method acting has a lot of dangers such as emotional distress. Why do you think method acting is dangerous?

One actor in my country died after he failed to evaluate the height of the building. He jumped without a safe hold. He might have thought his weigh was like cotton, lol.

I would assume that it's a cost thing.

Many studios invest in making their movies the best, so they need A-listers to be leads. If an A-lister learns through method acting, it could expose them to dangers that they're not accustomed to, especially without the security details they would typically have.

That said, if an A-lister was lost during method acting, whose fault would it be? Could the studio be at risk of a lawsuit? Also, actors, and other very rich people, have insurance policies that cost quite a pretty penny. I would suspect that their policies are void if they put themselves into any risky situation.

I think it comes down to the safety of the actor, to ensure they have that career to bring in the audience, and money.

@Starmix25 also pointed out the dangers of method acting too. They are not professionals, for the most part, at anything except acting. They should leave the stunts up to the pros.
