Do actors actually learn important life lessons from playing characters in movies that learn important life lessons?

My flatmate is an actress - I had to help her research a role as a prostitute by walking down to the local bottle store with her dressed in short skirt, fishnet tights , ton of makeup etc (to clarify - it was she dressed like that not me.)

Im unsure if either of us learnt anything.

Well she hardly committed to the role. Take a cue from Winona - art must come before the law!

true, plus I could have made a few bob.

I take offense to this comment! It's not just prostitutes who dress like that!

I think any actor that does drugs to learn how to portray someone who does drugs has learned an important lesson.

I'm kidding by the way.

(Anyone seen the Mr. Show sketch about the actor that gets a lobotomy?)

Wasn't Winona's defense that a director instructed her to shoplift as "research" for a role?

I think they only pretend to. Because then it makes the other pretending seem more relevant.

As does needless repetition.

Young Daniel Radcliffe must have learnt some pretty useful stuff, such as how to run away from giant spiders and how to kill a Basilisk. Handy, that.
