   Once upon a time acting teachers encouraged highlighting only the last word    
   or two of the other actors' lines,  and all of your own lines.  Now that's    
   discouraged,  and actors are encouraged to read the whole script.  Every    
   actor develops their own technique for learning lines and "getting into    
   character"   there isn't one technique that works for everyone.  Michael    
   O'Hare's technique didn't make sense to Jerry Doyle (apparently).  I think    
   it's a jump to say that it was an indication of  being delusional
