Jeff Bridges belongs to the same school of method-acting as cats, goldfish, screaming babies, and anyone else who is lucky enough only to ever get cast as characters identical to their IRL self
…dunno why I picked cats and goldfish specifically , those are just 2 guilds of method actors who will not change their style for any film
Dog actors are different, because they can be trained and will take stage direction
Goats are pretty much as determined as cats and goldfish except they have a better acting union
(the GOATSE union is the only reason the studio allowed such artistic freedom to the lovely background extras in this Becket scene around 1:56:30)
