"Javier Bardem joins Backstage’s In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast to discuss his chilling, Golden Globe–nominated performance on Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” as well as recent projects like Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” and Josh Gordon and Will Speck’s “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.” The Oscar winner also dives into his philosophies toward acting and how he’s developed such a wide-ranging résumé of roles."

Thanks for sharing the podcast, Florin Şumălan. Javier Bardem is an incredible actor! He said:
"Believe me, I respect everybody’s method, as long as those methods respect everybody’s process. You want to be in character 24/7? Absolutely fine. You want me to call you by your character’s name? Absolutely fine. You want me to give you my lines out of camera, dressed as the character? Fine, absolutely; you’ll have me. But in the moment where I see you behaving improperly and inappropriate with somebody—not me precisely, but somebody else in the crew, in the team, the actors, fellow actors—because that’s the way the character does it? No, I’m not gonna allow that. I don’t think that’s art. I think that’s abuse.”
I agree. Safety and respect are really important. Someone's acting shouldn't harm others, put them in danger, or disrespect them.

Maurice Vaughan , I like that part too. I found this podcast recently and I think these episodes - interviews are helpful to understand better some things about acting and actors: their craft, how they approach some of their roles, their techniques, their thinking, philosophies...
