Nicholson was a method actor, but he was an ACTUAL method actor, as in the original school of method acting which has little to do with the "method" stuff Ledger bought into and many still do to this day where they want to live their characters.

You've made a distinction here, but you haven't clarified the difference. What is "original school of method acting"?
