Richard Schiff takes his Method acting a little too seriously

[SlackerInc]

From the NPR story about the new West Wing podcast, this is Josh Malina talking about acting with Schiff:

He’s the kind of guy — I remember in one episode, as we rehearsed and blocked the scene, [he was] demanding to know, “Why at this point am I picking up the phone?” I remember saying, “Richard, because your next line is ‘Hello,’ and it’s addressed to the person who’s calling you. What other possible piece of blocking could we have?”

:smack:

Can you say “overthinking it”, Richard? LOL
