The literal meaning is that the actor is ignoring the directions in the script and is making things up. The figurative meaning is anyone who is doing things that are not the traditional way, or are not as directed. Another way to say this would be "making it up as you go along," or "flying by the seat of your pants."

Do you use I or me when talking about yourself and someone else Example Jason and I are going away or Is it Jason and me are going away?

Jason and I is accepted. The reason this works is the phrase 'Jason and' modifies the intention of the sentence:" I am going". You can put the word "we" instead of the phrase and it makes sense, and does not lose its meaning. The reason to use the phrase 'Jason and' is to give a fuller picture of who is going and where they are going together. In any case, the sentence would never be " Me am going away." therefore, is is unacceptable to use 'me' .
