Poll Suggestion: Actors Committed to Method Acting
Method acting — a controversial acting approach that has been highly discussed in Hollywood for decades. By definition, it’s an acting technique when an actor aspires to complete emotional identification with a role or character for a project. But throughout the years, it has been a divisive topic with industry veterans on either side of the debate.
Below, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a list of actors and actresses who have taken on the immersive acting approach at some point during their career.

Some of these actors' performance were great. But, ultimately, I think the method is stupid. Very often it is only a marketing stunt. Jared Leto's "method acting" is only an excuse to be a douchebag.
And the association that has been made between whatever these actors are doing, Lee Strasberg, and the actors' studio is really stupid. As far as I know, I could be wrong, Stanislavski's method is about crafting a character by using one's own life experience. It is not about sending rat to Margot Robbie or losing 50 pounds.

@khadafimahfud8 ,
The current title for your poll suggestion is ungrammatical.
Please change the title from:
Actors Who Committed to Method Acting
To:
Actors Who Are Committed to Method Acting
or
Actors Committed to Method Acting

Better, simpler phrasing of the question:
Which of these performances do you think is the most successful application of the method?
