Jeremy Strong has responded to whether he treats acting as a religious experience as has been said about him. The actor, best known for his performance in HBO's ongoing satirical corporate-family drama series 'Succession', has earlier been accused of taking his job too seriously. Centring around a wealthy, powerful business family called the Roys, the show explores the quest of the family patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) to find his successor. He looks at his children, which includes Strong's Kendall, finds no one worthy. The award-winning show, created by Jesse Armstrong, also features Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, Alan Ruck Hiam Abbass, among others.&nbsp;

Strong was profiled by the New Yorker last year in a piece titled 'On “Succession,” Jeremy Strong Doesn't Get the Joke' that has proven to be controversial. The profile argued that he does not know the show is a comedy and treats it as a serious drama, and that he immerses himself too deeply in the character of Kendall that it may end up being harmful to him.

The profile quoted Cox as saying, “The result that Jeremy gets is always pretty tremendous. I just worry about what he does to himself. I worry about the crises he puts himself through in order to prepare. Actors are funny creatures. I’ve worked with intense actors before. It’s a particularly American disease, I think, this inability to separate yourself off while you’re doing the job.”

Cox reiterated his comments at a media interaction after the screening of his new film 'Prisoner's Daughter' at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month. He said, "I don’t hold a lot of the American s***, having to have a religious experience every time you play a part. It’s crap."

Strong has revealed his thoughts. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "I think it is a sacramental activity expressing a faith, if that’s what a religion is. I feel wary of saying that because religion is religion and I don’t want to diminish what religion is. But for me, certainly. Theatres&nbsp;have always been a place that feel kind of holy. And the communicative and healing power of film is completely profound and mysterious. So, yeah, I’m a devout devotee of that. Yeah.

Jeremy Strong explains his acting style after criticism from 'Succession' co-star Brian Cox

Scottish acting legend Brian Cox has a few blunt thoughts about method acting. While definitions vary, this form of acting emerged from&nbsp;theatre. It is made up of several techniques that are meant to lead the actor to empathise and identify deeply with their character. For instance, somebody playing a depressed person might do things that make their mood despondent, and so on. Sometimes, it is taken too far. Actors may go to extreme lengths to slip into the shoes of the character. Jared Leto, while playing the role of Joker, a psychopathic criminal, and popular Batman villain, in 2016's 'Suicide Squad', admitted to sending rats, anal beads, and used condoms to fellow cast members of the movie.&nbsp;

“I don’t hold a lot of the American s***, having to have a religious experience every time you play a part. It’s crap,” he said as per The Hollywood Reporter.

He added, “I don’t hang onto the characters I play. I let them go through me. The thing is to be ready to accept, as an actor. You stand there, you’re ready to accept whatever is thrown at you."

While venerated in the days of yore (in cinema history), method acting has come to be associated with obsession and superiority complex. Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the greatest actors in film history, had to take early retirement after he suffered from the pernicious effects of method acting while portraying his characters.

There is an alleged related incident that is often recounted in Hollywood circles and media. English thespian Laurence Olivier and the then-American hotshot Dustin Hoffman were working together on 1976's 'Marathon Man'. To play the role of his character who had not slept for 72 hours, Hoffman also stayed up for three days straight. Olivier told him, "My dear, why don't you try acting?" '

Late Indian legendary actor Dilip Kumar is also associated with method acting.&nbsp;

Cox's 'Prisoner's Daughter' is directed by Catherine Hardwicke. It also features Kate Beckinsale, Tyson Ritter, and Christopher Convery in the cast.&nbsp;
