Are you a celebrity Rifa? Have you been on a talk show or are you a host of one?

Well obviously the whole head banging bit was planned, but I wonder if flipping/shattering a glass table was part of it. I think JGL just got really into it and did it spontaneously, which is awesome!

No. But I learn about the business. I learn how they are made. It's what I do everyday on a constant basis. :facepalm:

he can't really go off script with his role can he?
truth be told: the audience were given very limited amount of background relevant to the characters..
and the only way we can judge a performance is by observing how the character genuinely reacted to complex relationships and circumstances..

either that or we have to have some insight into the mechanism via which these characters were conceived in Nolan's mind..
and i am pretty sure Nolan shared a decent amount of info with the actors that the audience has no idea about..

in my opinion Arthur's role was meant to be robotic.. a man with no imagination who demands specificity and proof..
and doesn't like taking risks with things he thinks he is not equipped to deal with.. also he is involved in very few complex relationships..
no need to confuse his role for bad acting

obviously Nolan thought JGL's performance was good.. why should we argue?

Finally a person who realizes that Arthur and Eames were stock characters; archetypes. Every character in Inception was a stepping stone to Cobb's journey.

You don't have to be a celebrity to know how this business works. And on the other hand, people who believe what they see on the television are... well... not too smart. :D

I disagree, I thought Ellen was pretty good in her role! I loved the scene where she decided to go into Cobb's dream and the ending between Ariane/Cobb/Mal was great in my opinion also because of Ellen. I also liked her scenes with Arthur.
