Jim,

Why Danielle Stampe doesn't drop dead when the arc from her "arm" strikes ground?

Before making such comments, one should distinguish between a perfomer's 
public persona and what they are really like.  One of the true tests of 
an actor is their ability to make you believe that they really are the 
character, while they're playing it.("disappearing into the role") 
Compare, for instance, Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia vs Devil Wears Prada. 
Either one is totally believable (in terms of internal character 
consistency and behavior) so you have no idea what the "real" Streep is 
like. BTW, this has nothing to do with so-called "method acting".. in 
fact, some actors feel that "method" is a cop out, if you were "good 
actor" you should be able to play the part without being the part.
