Actor's Studio
|
Saw the episode with Matt tonight. I agree he was great, even better than I had hoped. He looked relaxed, and was forthcoming with many personal details. Lipton quoted "Variety" as saying that Matt "is the thinking man's movie star". Lipton was clearly in tune with the effectiveness of Matt's minimalist performance in TGS and seemed to understand and illustrate how Matt had given great performances in many of his films--he referenced Ripley as demonstrating Matt's expertise with complex roles. Matt praised Angelina much more than he would have had to for publicity's sake. He seems to have genuine admiration for her talent and independence as well as her beauty. One of the best moments happened while Matt was describing Nicholson's method on The Departed. He had to use a four letter word to quote Jack, but before he did, he looked out in the audience and saw his stepdaughter asleep on Lucy's lap and then said he had to make sure she couldn't hear the word--and then said the line with the word in it. This is really a stand-up guy; I appreciate him more as a human being each time I see him. We know he's a great actor. I saw TGS: his is an intricate, interior performance that, if you let yourself empathize with Wilson's position, makes your blood run cold. In a sane world it would be a sure Oscar nomination.
They also mentioned that episodes of "Actor's Studio" could be downloaded on iTunes, so all you video iPoders out there could probably do that right now in the UK or anywhere. Happy downloading! Really great interview!
