METHOD TO THE MADNESS - Rain of Madness - Tropic Thunder

I was finally granted an interview with Kirk Lazarus. He has been living in Saigon for over 4 months prior to shooting. Much has been made about his transformation from a white man to an African American, and for the first time a documentary crew was allowed to see behind the curtain of his deep method style of acting. I was told never to address him as Kirk Lazarus, but by his character name, Sergeant Lincoln Osiris. Furthermore, I was told that even if I did address him by his actual name, he genuinely would not know who I was referring to. This indeed proved correct.
