I was also stunned at Spacey's discipline in embodying his victim/villain character in The Usual Suspects, but of course he was free to call out for a break when needed.
There's a lovely crossover novel which combines history and detective work. It's called Daughter of Time by Josphine Tey. A DI is bored convalescing from serious body-breakage. He woos a local librarian into supplying him with all sorts of historical resources to investigate the centuries-old scandal of the murder of the Princes in the Tower and Richard III. That book was the first hint I had that Ruchard III wasn't in fact disabled; that his evil deeds splashed impairment on him retroactively and metaphorically.
