I've Been Acting For 25 Years, Living

I Love Working Fast. I Don't Relish The Director Who Wants To Do 25 To 30 Takes, Or The Actors Who Insist On Doing 25 Or 30 Takes.

And I Think It's Because Good Cons Are All Based On The Victim's Need, And The Successful Con Artist Is The One, I Guess, Who Can Exploit That. I Remember Reading Something About This, That One Of The Great Traits Of Confidence Tricksters Is The Level That They Flatter Their Victim.

Character Actors Aren't A Brand In The Same Way That High-profile Leading Men Are.

I've Worked With Actors Who Treat The First Two Takes Like Rehearsals. And That's Okay. If The Camera Is On You And We're Doing A Scene Where I'm Off Camera, I'm Treating That As A Rehearsal.

When I Get Home After Being Away For Work, My Wife Always Stuffs The Fridge With Loads Of What She Calls 'nibbles' - All The Great Things You Can Eat Straight From The Fridge, Like Chunks Of Cheese, Slices Of Ham, Bowls Of Hummus.
