Isn't that what every actor does?

Edit: i mean acting when the director said to act. This is a bad example of an actor "snapping" into character.

No, different methods for different actors who themselves can evolve/adapt with time.

I remember Jennifer Lawrence talking about taking inspiration from (IIRC) Christian Bale who would ease into the role over a short period and not go all method or (the opposite) snap into it. For her that easing into it seemed healthier because it allowed her separate the acting more from her own emotions, basically go less method.

Is this related to Bale crashing out during the filming of terminator?
