The actions that the character takes are not the sole reason for an actor portraying the character in the way they do. the actor must bring an emotional depth an honesty to the character and on occasion this can be emotionally gruelling for the actor. it has nothing to do with the rating and what violence is seen on screen.
the best performances you see on screen and on stage are from people who mine their soles to find something in themselves of the character. deniro, brando, and the likes do/did this. prior to taxi driver deniro went and worked as a cabby for 12 months so he could bring those learned experiences to his character also.
