“There are two schools of thought. A manager would tell you that must make them realize you're a dedicated actor and I took a totally different route than that. I never ever took myself seriously.” TwoDifferentSchoolActorsRealizingManagersDedicatedRoutes Author:George Hamilton
“I remember a meeting I had at MGM. It was at the end of their reign. They say we have you under contract, and because you’re under contract, we’d like to you to work. I said, well, that seems fair. But if it’s a really good movie, they were going to give it to a particular actor that was not under contract. The bottom line was they were going to pay you more if it was a bad one and pay you less if it was a good one.” IfsGivingWellsSaidEndsSeemsRememberActorsLinesPayParticularFairsMeetingsBottomContractsReignBottom LineGood MovieMgmReally Good Movie Author:George Hamilton
“I found a movie called “Light in the Piazza.” I finally made the movie with Olivia de Havilland and myself, but initially there was no way I could make that movie, so I went to work on becoming that character. They told me they had an Italian [actor], and I said, “That’s a Cuban boy!” His name was Tomas Milan. I thought that’s the craziest thing I’d ever heard: They have a Cuban who’s going to play an Italian, and I can’t play it because I’m an American.” WayMadeSaidI CanPlayCharacterLightActorsFoundNamesBoysHeardBecomingItalianCubanCraziestMilanOlivia Author:George Hamilton
