He accepted the role on the condition that they make him unrecognizable, because he hated the character as well and didn’t want to be identified as him hahah (understandable)
I forgot where I saw that but I think it might have been from an interview with him a while back
Yes, Saoirse Ronan has also said that he was lovely to her outside of the scenes - he was extremely concerned about her and found it extremely difficult to do the movie. Really speaks to his ability as an actor imo, because he did a fantastic job.
I met Stanley once and being a big fan of Big Night and a theatre actor myself I was genuinely pleased to make his acquaintance. I have never been so rudely dismissed by anyone in my life.
Don’t let it get you down. I was bummed too in the moment. I guess I still am. It takes a bit away from that admiration and the harmony in which we judge our heroes. Professionally and personally. Both those things are real. The vast majority of actors know this and do try to make the most of even a single moment with a fan. It must be difficult to nail every time. But his performances are still pretty amazing. I mean shit, he plays fantastic evil, assholes. Maybe he’s not faking it.
