And it came from a premise that wouldn’t let me go: what if an actor, in order to survive, had to become as dangerous as the characters she played on screen?

Matthew Quirk @mquirk.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
This story came from seeing up close the incredible work actors put into their craft. It came from lifelong friends who risked and sacrificed to realize their stage dreams.

Matthew Quirk @mquirk.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
I've never written a book like this before. The Method is out today! I’m thrilled to share that a screen adaptation is already in the works—a cool full-circle moment given how the novel was partly inspired by my time on The Night Agent set. @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social

I can’t wait to share The Method with everyone next week. What if an actor found herself in the fight of her life, with no one there to say cut?

Matthew Quirk @mquirk.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
(And even take time between setups to goof off with a visiting author). That was a big part of the inspiration for what later become The Method and Anna Vaughn’s character, then Anna took on a life of her own.

Matthew Quirk @mquirk.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
Around ten pm, they broke down that set and moved to a new location to set up and start shooting an entirely new sequence. I was completely blown away by all the hard work, dedication and training everyone put in and the actors’ ability to switch in and out of such intense roles.

Matthew Quirk @mquirk.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
On my first visit to the Night Agent set in Vancouver—back when no one had any idea what the show would become—I watched the cast and crew take something like nine hours to painstakingly choreograph and shoot a one-minute fight scene. So many broken tables.
