In the play, this actor is playing a boy, who has Chuunibyou.

At 0:15 he said

> しっかり、え、中二病をこじらせて **振り切って** 演じたいと思います。

According to
[Jishou](http://jisho.org/search/%E6%8C%AF%E3%82%8A%E5%88%87%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6),

> 振り切る = to shake off/ to swing completely

so I was wondering what does it mean here?

answer
振り切った演技 is used to describe an actor has completely gotten into a character
and played the role convincingly. 迫真の演技 is similar, but 振り切った演技 tends to be
used for a difficult and eccentric character. Playing a 中二病 boy typically
requires 振り切った演技 because, you know, it's a bit embarrassing and eccentric
role.

This 振り切る can be understood either as "to shake off your ordinary way of
thinking and become unbound by anxiety and embarrassment" or "to fully put
your effort into the character". 振る can mean to put/direct/assign (energy,
workload, role, number, etc) to something/someone. 切る adds the meaning of
"completely". (gamer's example: パラメータをSTRに振り切る "to assign all parameters to
strength")
