I’m an actor and Clint has cast me in three of his movies. Even though I left Los Angeles he still has me audition from Chicago.
When he cast you in one of his films he only ask you for four things, 1, Be on time. 2, Know your lines. 3, Know your stage blocking. And 4, be real. That’s it. If you’re a day player with a small role and you’re late to the set, he’ll use your stand in. He doesn’t care. He only shoots a scene once or twice. Rarely does he use more takes. Although in my first movie with him, Million Dollar Baby, one of the scenes we shot took about 15 to 20 takes. He is a pleasure to work with. Real easy going as long as you’re professional.
You moved from LA to Chgo and your an actor.....that makes no sense! ; )
You must really love the Cubs cause the weather sucks.
Congrats on being a member of the Eastwood Stock Company—that puts you in very select company. As a long-time fan of his films, I’ve noticed that he uses a number of actors over and over again, obviously because they deliver what he’s looking for.
One of my favorite examples is Alfred Popwell; he was the wounded bank robber who was on the receiving end of one of the most famous lines in movie history when Harry Callahan asked him “Do you feel lucky, punk? We do ya?” He was in two more of the Dirty Harry films and in his last appearance in the series, he played a police detective named Horace King.
I guess Obama would be fired.
I just wish he would make one more western before he retires. I have good memories of his shows.
color me jealous .. that's SO COOL !
Eastwood's been a very fave since the days of his spaghetti westerns.
