mega-acting

Mega-acting is a term used in place of “over-acting” when meant as a compliment. “Over-acting” means you’ve gone too far, you have too large an amount of acting, like overfilling a glass and it spills all over the place and you have to clean it up. Mega-acting doesn’t spill because it’s a deliberate stylistic choice. It may be absurd, cartoonish, exaggerated, operatic, but not an accident. You didn’t overfill the glass. You purposely used a huge stein.
Classic examples of mega-acting include Nic Cage as Castor Troy in FACE/OFF, Nick Nolte in HULK, Nic Cage in THE WICKER MAN.

Method Acting

When an actor or actress decides to commit fully to their role by becoming the character on and off set.

(This can either lead to great success like in the case of Christian Bale in American Psycho or in annoying or dragging down everyone on a movie set like in the case of every Jared Leto role.)
Jared Leto decided method acting was the best way to play the role of Michael Morbius by using crutches he didn’t need and refusing to use the bathroom without help from people who came to film a movie, and now had to help a D-List actor wipe his own ass.
