Christian Bale has made a mark in the acting world with his amazing ‘method acting’. He is a great actor – there is no doubt about that. But what makes him really special is the extremity that he can go to be in touch with the character he is playing. You may know him from the famous Dark Knight series, as Batman or Bruce Wayne. But his method acting skills really shine in the movie ‘The Machinist’ where he lost a lot of weight to look really skinny. The British actor has won several awards during his career.
