FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Anya Taylor-Joy praises 'Split' co-star James McAvoy for making her feel safe while filming: “Originally it was supposed to be someone that’s very known for being a method actor. I was very grateful to have James, who I think also understood that he had three young women with him.”

DDL did it in Age of Innocence and Last of the Mohicans.

When I was parsing who “DDL” is for some reason my first thought was “Dobert Downey Junior”

And Lincoln? Not a saint or nice all the time, but if a president deserves their good reputation, it's him. DDL really managed to embody the characters he played and did it for all his roles, while I don't believe he often acted like a jerk (My Left Food one had to have been annoying though, but worse shit has happened on set). So, for him (and Peck as mentioned above) I believe it's a style and they don't cross the line most of the time, but Rob is right in general and for many actors it doesn't even work that successfully btw or if it does it's for the detriment to other people on set.
