Staying in character too long

Actors tend to get a feel of their character before they perform. Lots of actors method act to get the pert down right for a performance ( like my character Brandon in check please ). For example, Christian Bale who plays batman in THE DARK KNIGHT,  had himself get a serious personality for his character by staying away from people. By the way, the dark knight rises is coming out this summer with Catwoman as Anne Hathaway. Many other actors use method acting too. Staying in character is also another important thing to do when acting. Many actors on movies and plays have no problem with that, they actually stay in character even after the performance is done. For instance, Taylor Lautner from twilight is a good actor as long as he has his werewolf powers. When came to abduction, another movie he played in, he was Jacob in disguise except he didn't have his werewolf powers. Another good example, would be Selena Gomez, she is an actor that plays in wizards of waverly place on disney channel. Her character has all those funny remark and doesn't get along with siblings. She played two other movies with the same personality, Princess protection program and Romona and Beezes. She was in character, just too long, and its not her real personality, if you look at her interviews, she even says it herself. Actors just get to absorbed into their character that they want to keep it as their personality. Angelina Jolie is another example of a person who holds on to her character. Angelina is known for tomb raider, she usually only does movies that she is the main character. She was a fearless warrior in tomb raider, and when she did the movie salt, she was that same fearless girl that is not afraid to fight. She held onto the fearless tomb raider into the movie salt and it seemed almost exact. Sometimes actors love their old character that they hold on to it.
