I Am Not The First

That's Always My Ambition Is To Create A Character Out Of What Will Help Tell The Story. I've Never Been An Actor To Say My Character Wouldn't Do That, Because He Should Do That In Order To Help Tell The Story.

As A Matter Of Fact, That Was A Bit Of A Problem For Me At The Beginning Of My Career - The Problem Of Identification. In The Conversation I Played A Character Who Was Gay, So Nobody Recognised Me From American Graffiti. When I Did Apocalypse Now, After Star Wars, I Played An Intelligence Officer Of The American Army. George Lucas Saw The Footage I Had Done And Didn't Recognise Me Until Halfway Through The Scene.

The Third Time You Say A Thing It Sounds Like A Lie.

The Thing I Always Guard Against When I'm Talking To People I'm Working With About A Script Is That There's A Thing I Don't Like And It's Called "talk Story." It's When You're Talking About The Story; The Characters Are Tasked With Talking About The Story Instead Of Allowing The Audience To Experience The Story.

You Always Have To Know What The Ambition Of The Scene Is, What The Purpose Of That Scene Is In The Telling Of The Story Overall, So That You're There To Support The Story.
