I doubt Bale's attack would have been as vicious if it wasn't for the scene he was doing. Being a former actor in theater, I know very well how much of yourself you can put in a role, and how exhausting it can be. I'm not surprised at the reaction, and its also not something all that new to actors who are "method".

To me, if some assclown kept putzing around while I'm trying to call up some tortured part of my soul, I'd likely have castrated him with my bare hands.
