  "account": "During an episode of the podcast \"Good Hang,\" Amy Poehler invited Andrew Garfield onto the show and asked him a pointed question about his method acting approach. Garfield initially tried to avoid the query, but Poehler pressed him, prompting him to clarify his stance. He acknowledged that he had embraced a method of acting to some extent, but cautioned against mischaracterizing it as a reckless approach. Poehler playfully reminded him of the training he went through, including studying for a year as a monk and losing weight, as he prepared for his roles. Ultimately, Garfield agreed that method acting had been widely misunderstood, insisting that it involves honesty in one's craft while maintaining professionalism and respect for those around him.",
