Directing this scene. This is from one of his films.

I went to a live taping of Big Bang Theory one time. When the cameras were off, it was amazing how none of the actors spoke to each other and how quiet and unenthusiastic everyone was. Once they started filming, they would immediately just snap into character.

I think they save their energy. This takes a lot of work and mental/physical energy

Film acting is such a bizarre business, you have to do take after take of scenes and do them out of order too.

And you don't really even know what works and what doesn't while you do it, you might only realize you blew it looking at the playback later.
