He has wonderful immediate ideas. Very often supplements mine, or has something better than my notions. Some action perhaps. He could be a Shakespearean actor. In fact, I think that he could play King Lear. Peter Lorre was one of the finest and most subtle actors I have ever worked with. Beneath that air of innocence he used to such effect, one sensed a Faustian worldliness. I'd know he was giving a good performance as we put it on film but I wouldn't know how good until I saw him in the rushes.
Clark Gable was the only real he-man I've ever known, of all the actors I've met. The whole world came to recognize it.
With the years he became increasingly aware of the dignity of his profession--Actor, not Star. Himself he never took seriously--his work, most seriously. He regarded the somewhat gaudy figure of Bogart, the Star, with amused cynicism; Bogart the actor he held in great respect. He is quite irreplaceable. They're not actors. I've been around actors all my life and I like them, but I never had an actor as a friend. Except Dad.
And Dad never thought of himself as an actor. But the best actor I ever worked with was Dad. Dad was a man who never tried to sell anybody anything. Elisha Cook Jr. When he was wanted in Hollywood, they sent word up to his mountain cabin by courier. He would come down, do a picture and then withdraw again to his retreat. Brando had an explosive thing; you felt something smoldering, dangerous, about to ignite at times.
Did you see Julius Caesar ? I will never forget that; it was like a furnace door opening--the heat came off the screen. I don't know another actor who could do that. I think the worst thing I ever saw Brando do was Apocalypse Now , which was just dreadful--the finish of that picture.
The model for it, "Heart of Darkness", has no finish either, and the movie-makers just didn't find one either. It's very good for a picture to have an ending before you start shooting!
The girl was an addict of sleeping tablets and she was made so by the goddamn doctors. Hollywood doesn't like actors who are British classical actors. They like Michael Caine because he's a sort of English Everyman. They have some quality of aristocratic greatness that Hollywood finds threatening. She had no techniques. It was all truth, it was only Marilyn. But it was Marilyn plus. She found things, found things about womankind in herself.
He can do the acting scales on one hand. Choose your profession as you would choose a wife, for love AND for money". I have faithfully abided by the first half of that dictum. Indeed, I have a confession to make: I have been so enamored with my work that I have always had a feeling of guilt about taking money for it. Maybe that's why I always got rid of it so quickly.
It was like money you win at the races, not the rewards of honest toil. I confess to having made films because they were in countries I wanted to visit. So far as directing the actors and the crew is concerned, well, I direct just as little as possible and I get as much from others as I possibly can.
Some of the best ideas I've ever had have come from other people. They were a mixed bag: a schoolgirl; a gentlewoman; a motion-picture actress; a ballerina; and a crocodile. It's never the cliche that he serves up in the reading of a line. He doesn't try to please anyone, to please the audience. He doesn't think about the audience. There's no wish to please when he does a part.
He's only concerned with the thing itself. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. Create a list ». He was all the skate community could talk about: Child prodigy and irrefutable future of the sport. Then came , when the family was abruptly uprooted by his father to Puerto Rico, away from California and into total isolation. Daily life on their 26 acre farm made it difficult for Nyjah to practice, but with the push of his father, he used local skateparks and street spots to improve.
Farm life in the middle of this tropical island often left them with no electricity or running water which ultimately led him to start a clean water charity. Houston resigned from the army in to launch his law career, but Jackson helped him become general of the Tennessee militia, a post Old Hickory himself had once held. After serving as attorney general in Nashville, Houston won election to the U.
House of Representatives, and headed to Washington, D. Houston won a second congressional term in , and two years later became governor of Tennessee at the age of By , Jackson was in the White House and his protege appeared well positioned for a future presidential run.
He resigned as governor in April and left Tennessee to seek refuge with the Cherokee in Arkansas Territory. Houston took an active role in Native American affairs, helping to broker peace between various tribes in Indian Territory. In , he married a Cherokee woman, Tiana Rogers, and they opened a trading post together. He also began traveling to Washington, D. Two weeks later, a furious Houston ran into Stanbery on Pennsylvania Avenue and beat him soundly with a hickory cane.
Houston was arrested and tried before the U. Though the incident got Houston an official reprimand and a fine, it put him back in the political arena, and energized him for a new challenge. He arrived in late , and settled in Nacogdoches, where he was baptized into the Catholic Church a requirement under Mexican law , opened a law practice and formally obtained a divorce from his wife Eliza.
Houston represented Nacogdoches at the Convention of , during which Anglo-Texan settlers, led by Stephen Austin, decided to petition the Mexican government to grant Texas independent statehood status. Houston was appointed commander in chief of the Texan army, and helped negotiate a treaty with the Cherokee living in eastern Texas. Even as Mexican forces besieged the Alamo in March , Houston attended the convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos that voted for Texan independence.
Having one eye, that eye has to do double time. I feel like when I put that mask on, I transform. The old movie stars like Humphrey Bogart , James Cagney , James Stewart , they weren't this gorgeous, striking six-foot man who's rippled with muscles. They just really had character in their face and they drank and they smoked and I love that shit. These were the real actors. They really lived, and you could see the lines on their faces, the lines of the years that they lived.
You just believed them. I loved that. Everyone was in the same understanding that we wanted this to be as authentic as possible when we were playing. We were going tooth and nail trying to get this right.
