I loved this the first time I saw it on Extras, love it again. Thanks Stephanie for my first LOL of the day. It reminds me of the Olivier/Hoffman story which I've stolen from Snopes:
There's that famous, but likely apocryphal, story about Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman when they were working together on Marathon Man. To prepare for a scene, Hoffman had gone for a few days without sleep and looked pretty rough. Olivier asked him why he was putting himself through such an ordeal and Hoffman replied that he was trying to be convincing in the role. Olivier replied, "Try acting dear boy".
Sometimes it really is that simple. :)
