And then at the end of it, you beg the producers for five more marathons.” PeopleIfsThinkingEndsWorryHellFiveToo MuchThousandEgoProducersMarathon Author:Andrew Niccol

“I think there are three types of actors. There are the ones that do the ego thing, which is "I'm never going to look bad in a movie, ever." This is mostly the action film dudes, like, "Nah, hell no.

And then the third type is a true thespian who doesn't give a flying rat's ass what it is as long as it's deep, powerful, and painful, and they will dive in headfirst.
