Eddie Redmayne is an Oscar, Tony, SAG, and Olivier Award winner because he puts in the work. Whether it\u2019s a \u201cCabaret\u201d revival, the massive \u201cFantastic Beasts\u201d franchise, or quiet true crime character studies like \u201cThe Good Nurse,\u201d the actor always finds his character in the preparation. \n\n\u201cThe more you can go and just gain insight into what [the role] is, the more ideas you can come with on the day,\u201d he says. \u201cWhether it\u2019s props or costume, I try to get ahead of all that. So there\u2019s always something surprising on the day. You only have such a limited period on camera to find ideas, so it\u2019s good to have some sort of runway.\u201d \n\nOn this episode on In the Envelope: The Actor\u2019s Podcast, Redmayne explains what he learned from the major roles in his career, including blockbusters like \u201cJupiter Ascending\u201d and his subtler turns in \u201cThe Theory of Everything\u201d and \u201cThe Danish Girl.\u201d\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
