| What
does it mean to be an actor? How do actors do what they do? How do
they deal with the frustrations and rejections? This is the story
of my personal experiences in Los Angeles. Along the way I'll share what
I've learned.
Of Course, He Now Has a Bad Back...
Because you know that's what it's going to take for it to look good anyway so you might as well go for it. Ratchet it up just as hard and fast and I'm going to just throw myself. Because otherwise you just have to do it 800 times and it's never satisfying. You go see it in the movie and you wish you'd given it just 10% more." -- Tobey Maguire (actor known for films like Pleasantville, Seabiscuit and The Ciderhouse Rules) talking about being thrown across a room into a wall in Spiderman 2.

"You learn to just go for these things (stunt scenes), you know? A couple times we do it where we do it half (film) speed, three quarter speed and when you get to it, it's like 'You know what? Just yank me faster and harder.' |

Yeah, that reminds of the time when I just told the actress to haul off and really wail on me with that toilet tank cover...
Wait, that was made of styrofoam.
But it still hurt. And damn, did it look GOOD!
