Actor Jeremy Strong has addressed his commitment to method acting, stating that he does not feel the need to apologize to colleagues who may find his intense immersion uncomfortable. While acknowledging his methods can ‘change the molecules in the room,’ Strong emphasized his goal is to ‘commit utterly to serving the material’ without intending to interfere with the work of others.
