Wow,this is SO great.I haven't seen any of these interviews before,they're so great and so diverse.And I also love the bits where Nic's costars are discussing Nic's work.Did Meryl Streep say he's so funny,did I hear that correctly?Nic must have a terrific sense of humor considering how many people say this!
This is very special indeed.....such a treat! Wonderful find Lady Trueheart, thank you!
I loved what Nic said about the action genre and his place in it, he is right, he still brings those amazing characters into that genre which brings someting to it that is entirely unique to him !
I loved hearing him say that he needs to be inspired by and connected to the character to bring a character to life, this is why I disgree with the critics who say Nic chooses roles for reasons other than that. An artist cannot create unless they feel it. Also yes, perfectionist, exactly, nothing is there that is not meant to be there, and so much dedication goes into every role.
As an aside I always thought It Could Happen To You, Honeymoon In Vegas and Guarding Tess were indeed the sunshine trilogy, but then when I looked at his filmography, it seems more likely to be HMIV, GT and Trapped In Paradise, because they were all consecutive ?
This vid is really so awesome! Thank you, Lady T. for posting it. It is really interesting to hear in this interviews more about Nic and how he describes himself and his movies. And, it is wonderful, how the other actors speaks about him. Especially his first wife Patricia. I like, how she describes him as one of the greatest actors in the world. He def IS!
