      Brian Collins Sigh... if you knew anything about the guy you’d know he suffers from severe anxiety which is why he is so convincing in mind losing roles... I don’t think that aspect is acting, it’s how he really is. Listen to his acting techniques from interviews, his performances are more about being present in the moment than anything else. His anxieties elevate his conflict more than anything else which is why he gravitated toward “losing mind” roles more. It’s because he’s already a little coo coo in the head. So if anything he’s acting very little outside of his own persona. The best actors are themselves in the present moment making you THINK they’re “acting” when they’re just being themselves. Joaquin Phoenix literally sounds like Joaquin Phoenix in EVERY SINGLE ROLE and yet no one noticed. 🤣
