My favourite anecdote in reference to this is when Hoffman and Olivier were filming Marathon Man. Hoffman was to do a scene where he has just come back from a long run. So Hoffman shows up to do the scene but can barely do it because he has just gone out and run many miles so his character can "feel" the part.
Olivier asks, "Why are you exhausting yourself?"
Hoffman replies, "I've got to get the right feeling for the scene. What else could I do?"
Olivier responds, "Try acting."
