21. John Cassavetes on Ricardo Montalban: “Ricardo Montalban is to improvised acting what Mount Rushmore is to animation.”

I LOL'ed on that one.

To be fair, I think John Cassavetes is a pretty good actor, like in Who's Life Is It Anyway.

But I really disliked his directorial style of having only an "outline" of a plot, and letting actors "improvise" the rest.

I simply think it didn't work out very well.

With SOME actors it might work, but the ones he used just ended up being boring.

Yeah I know some folks think he was a genius, but I beg to differ.
