Russell Crowe on working with Ridley Scott
Since Ridley Scott is my favorite director and Russell Crowe is my favorite actor, I really enjoy reading about how much Russell enjoys working with Ridley. So here’s another interview that makes me quite happy.
Q. Does having that sort of connection with a director make your job easier as an actor?
Russell: Of course! He knows the best thing to do is just see [what I’m doing as an actor], and he’ll get it when he sees it. But I know what he’s looking for. He downloads to me what his desires are, what he sees and believes in, what he sees the movie as, and I listen and retain it and become a version of his conscience. We’ll be in the middle of something and I’ll say, “Didn’t you say you wanted this to be like that and to have the bloke say this to go with that?” and he’ll say, “Exactly! And how would you interpret that?”
You can read the rest of this interview with Russell at Skylight Magazine.
I wanted to see American Gangster a second time in the movie theater so I ended up taking my dad out to see it tonight. He loved it as well and said it was totally one of those movies he’d see again.
