How did you get into character? is probably one of the most exhausting questions asked of actors on any press junket. Nine times out of 10, you're either going to get a canned, generic answer about digging deep. And that 10th time? That's when an actor will want to show off how method they are, typically with an on-set anecdote about in-character behavior that in reality just sounds exhausting, or even abusive.

With method acting so often used as an excuse for bad behavior, it's refreshing when you hear a story about someone going an extra mile for a role in a way that's kind to their co-stars.

She left a pink present with a pink bow, from Barbie to Ken, every day while we were filming. They were all beach-related. Like puka shells, or a sign that says ‘Pray for surf.’ Because Ken’s job is just beach. I’ve never quite figured out what that means. But I felt like she was trying to help Ken understand, through these gifts that she was giving.
