Sixteen years of coaching actors, and I still learnt something new on my last shoot. As director and on-set acting coach on a fast-paced Chinese martial arts film.
It wasn't about choreography. It wasn't about line delivery. It was about food.


In this episode I tell you exactly what happened on set, why it wrecked our focus for an entire afternoon, and what it taught me about the method acting triangle and why breaking just one of those three principles can turn a sensational performance into a flat one.


Plus, I'm gifting you the Method Acting Toolbox, free character development exercises to help you get fully immersed in your next role. Download it straight to your phone.
