Aaron Sorkin says Jeremy Strong approaches his co-stars on set in character. In comments reported across outlets, the “Social Reckoning” writer-director describes Strong as treating other cast members the way Strong imagines Mark Zuckerberg would treat people while they are filming.
Both sources frame Strong’s performance process as rooted in method-acting. Sorkin also indicates he is not surprised Strong does not share certain off-screen details with him, referencing that Strong did not tell him about writing an email to Zuckerberg. The accounts present this as an example of Strong staying immersed in his portrayal rather than stepping out of character.
While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—one foregrounds the “social reckoning” production and the email anecdote, the other focuses more on the on-set interaction approach—the core points align: Sorkin describes Strong’s in-character treatment of co-stars and suggests Strong maintains a boundary around personal or character-related actions during filming.
