Do actors who use such methods show long term tendencies toward irrationality or some such that actors who don’t do such immersion don’t?
Excellent question. I have heard claims connecting Heath Ledger’s death with the intensity of his performance as The Joker, but I am in no position to know the truth of the matter.

I didn’t look into it systematically, but I did briefly, and it looked like one of those claims people like to say (and that helps sell papers). I can’t rule it out, but without actual evidence, I think it’s worth ignoring.
