Jamie Dornan's scary role in The Fall resulted from some dark and bizarre preparation. To get into his character's head, Dornan said he stalked a woman. While he explained he never came near her, the gesture helped him to feel some of the tension and predatory instincts that his character would experience. Dornan also watched crime documentaries and isolated himself to achieve the eerie detachment of his role. The end was a hauntingly believable portrayal that earned critical acclaim but also drew attention to his unsettling method.
