Through the years, several actors have gone to extreme lengths to fully embody their characters, often by acquiring entirely new skill sets that could be added to their resumes. This may often involve learning a new language or adopting an unfamiliar accent. Alternatively, some actors have delved into learning musical instruments, while others have taken on physically demanding challenges like dancing or using weapons. For the actor from "Hudson & Rex," he had to learn how to paint for the film "The Art of Us."
To show his full commitment to portraying Tom Becker in the 2017 movie, Steve Lund learned different painting techniques. In an interview with Starry Mag, he shared, "It was definitely a challenge to learn the techniques and how to hold the brush to make it look like I knew what I was doing when, in all honesty, I did not. I think there was a real humility to this character that I appreciated."
He further revealed the hardest part of it all. He added, "What was most challenging for me was to try not to go wacky with the character, which is certainly my most natural instinct." Thankfully, they had a guide on set to make sure he was doing it properly. Despite having some difficulties in learning a new skill on set, he admitted he enjoyed the experience.
