Adrien Brody in the film The Pianist acts as Jewish pianist during the Nazi regime. He lost a lot of weight and underwent intense piano training for hours every single day. To genuinely portray the loss and isolation of his character, he broke up with his girlfriend, sold his apartment, sold his car and went to live in Europe for a couple of months. Nonetheless, his acting was phenomenal and earned him an Oscar.
