Years Ago I Was Going To Play Chet Baker In Another Movie And I Really Felt Drawn To That Character And The Script Is Good And I Met With Robert And We Seemed Simpatico And We Developed. But I Had A Real Passion For That Role And That Brought Me Deep Into That Film 'cause I Got The Sense That Robert Budreau Was Going To Really Let Me Be Creative Inside This Part.

What I Learned About Acting, From My Experiences Directing, Is Why So Many Producers And Directors Don't Like Actors. You Go Through All Of This Work Securing A Location, Figuring Out How To Get Electricity There, How To Get Trucks Parked Where They Need To Be, And Where Catering Is Going To Come From. And If The Actors Don't Come Up With Some Magic, It Actually Didn't Matter. That Creates A Lot Of Animosity Towards The Actors.
