Ever heard the expression "getting into the skin of the character". Do actors actually empathize with the characters they play?

 An actor have to figure out what the character wants, the goals and objectives that must be achieved.Best example is Heath Ledger.His obsession with the character eventually led to him overdosing on painkillers.

The actor should embody the character's mindset, habits, and way of speaking. They can achieve it if they empathize with the character they study through learning the story, the circumstances, and upbringing of the characters.
