Crappy list of actors who went “Beyond the Call of Duty” in preparing for screen roles, by doing things such as eating bugs or doing patrol rounds with cops. Not quite as beyond the call as weight gains/losses such as those of DeNiro’s or Bale’s (unworthy of listing, apparently) or the go-big-or-go-home action of Jason Lee, who – in a scene where he should have pretended to be shot, was actually shot. (Though I’m not sure this was by choice.)
