He even sang the chorus!

It's not unusual for actors to change their look to fit the role they are portraying. It's always best to do so under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist as speedy weightloss is not the healthiest.

10. He combined different acting techniques for his role in "Doll House". 

He actually consulted with two thespians before filming, but ultimately made his own style by combining different techniques.
