Daniel Day-Lewis, Epic Method Actor Does Abe [Pic]. When he preps for a role, he becomes that role. In this case, Abraham Lincoln. He`s even making people call him Abraham.

@simbha - I was watching an interview with Francis Ford Coppola. He was talking about trying to convince Brando to play Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now and Brando had some issue with the role/script. Later Brando admitted he lied about reading the script, read it the night before, and wanted to play the role. Coppola said Brando was pretty lazy like that and he suspected Brando worked that character trait into his roles. Coppola suspects that the way Brando is really slow about delivering his lines is due to the fact that he's actually trying to remember what his lines are.
