* MethodActing: He's been known to get rather intense when preparing for roles. Since many of his performances involved him playing unstable people there are many stories of casts and crews being nervous around him or giving him a wide berth because they were genuinely afraid for their own safety. Directors, on the other hand, like Creator/WilliamFriedkin have expressed annoyance at his desire to give his characters detailed backstories because his constant brooding and questioning of the script inevitably leads to shooting delays while everyone waits for him to get ready.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He was originally the front-runner to play '''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Darth Maul]]''', but he opted out after rewrites drastically reduced the character's role in the film. He would eventually join the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe 18 years later with ''Film/TheLastJedi''.
