* MethodActing: He denies being one but he's has become infamous for this, bringing to every one of his roles an intensity and commitment that would make Creator/DanielDayLewis proud (and, given that Strong worked with Day-Lewis as a crew member on ''Theatre/TheCrucible'', probably has). This has frequently led to him getting injured or nearly injured on set: during a scene in season one of ''Series/{{Succession}}'' where Kendall has to run through the streets of New York to get to an important board meeting on time, Strong insisted on running as far and fast as he could in dress shoes, leading to him fracturing his foot, and was doused in actual buckets of ice water to simulate Kendall coming out of an icy-cold lake in the season one finale. In the SeriesFinale, Strong also insisted in drinking a revolting concoction made from random elements from a fridge (which included tabasco sauce, chilli powder, raw eggs and Sarah Snook's spit) for real and during the shooting of the final scene where Kendall [[spoiler:looks onto the Husdon River clearly contemplating suicide while Logan's former bodyguard Colin (Scott Nicholson) watches from afar, Strong actually tried to jump in the river forcing Nicholson to stop him ''after the scene cut''.]] While filming a protest scene in ''Film/TheTrialOfTheChicago7'', he asked to be sprayed with actual tear gas, only for Creator/AaronSorkin to refuse because he didn't want to harm anyone, least of all the dozens of extras that Strong would be surrounded with in that scene.
