I don't think he had any particular grudge against actors, just felt a kind of entitlement as a director to dictate stuff, he would usually set aside extra time when shooting as well so that he could do the infamous whatever many takes until he felt that the take was right for the movie and he refused to just settle for something he didnt feel was right.
The guy himself claims that the "hundreds" of takes was an exaggeration by actors and that it never got above 2 digits but its a little he said she said, eyes wide shut I havent watched so I'm not sure if he did something like that on purpose or if it was just a really weird film to get the vibes right for.
