Harold Perrineau on co-starring with Nicolas Cage in Seeking Justice
Permalink  
 

Interesting Harold Perrineau interview here from AVClub.com,  not least for this part about working with Nic in Seeking Justice:

 

AVC: You’ve said you took this role primarily to work with Nicolas Cage. Was it what you expected it to be? 

HP: Yeah, it was. He was intense and really interesting and fun to work with, and challenging sometimes. So yeah, it really was. I wanted to see what that was like. He’s been such a part of my consciousness for a long time, having watched his work for years and years. I was really excited about that. It was what I thought, which was, “I couldn’t have predicted it.”

AVC: Challenging to you as an actor, or as a person? 

HP: Challenging because he’s always working. You want to be on your toes; You don’t want to be in a Nic Cage movie and just have him blow by you as an actor. I really had to stay on my feet. We had some scenes together, and we’re friends. Trying to not overdo him or underdo him, there’s a constant playing with the balance, playing with that ebb and flow between the characters. Like I said, he’s always, always, always working. So it was challenging to make sure I could stay as focused and as in the moment as I felt he was.

That was a good read, I like him and was an avid watcher of 'Lost', so I really enjoyed reading what he had to say. What an interesting career he has had, and his remarks about Nic are very on the mark as to what other co-stars say, aren't they?

I like this interview with Harold Perrineau also. Posting the part about Nic here.

SY: Speaking of Nicolas Cage, Jimmy is friends, and works, with his character, Will Gerard, in the film. What was your working relationship with Nicolas like on the set?

 

HP: It was really good, it was really interesting. From the first time he opens his mouth, you go, right, this is Nicolas Cage. All the memories of all the movies he’s done come rushing back. Even though you know it going in, when you’re standing there, you’re going, this is a voice that’s familiar to me.

It’s almost like family in an interesting way, it’s so familiar. So it was really fun and interesting. He’s an actor who just doesn’t stop working.

So me loving the craft of acting, I really enjoyed the challenge of trying to stay up with him, and get up there and play back and forth. That was a really good experience for me. He’s really focused in, which made me focused in, and I thought it was a really playing experience. It was really fun.

SY: Did you pick up any acting tips from Nicolas while you were on the set?

 

HP: You know, the one thing that I did pick up from him was that he’s an actor who trusts himself. Sometimes I have a tendency to question, which I don’t mind. But sometimes I over-question, and Nic’s one of those actors who really trusts himself.

That’s one of the things I learned; sometimes you have to trust that your instincts are correct. Maybe other people don’t think that these instincts are correct, but they’re correct and true for you, and I found them to be really correct and helpful for me. You can say in your craft, yeah, I trust me, and I trust this is the right way to go. I watched Nic do that over and over again.

It is always so faszinating to read or to hear, that Nic inspires his co-stars to do their best, just simply by giving his best himself! And, indeed! His voice is so recognizable and sound always so familiar in all his movies! He has such an incredNICble and wonderful voice! :) Thank you, Lady T., for posting it! I really enjoyed, reading it! :)

His voice is one of a kind, and yet, in every movie it seems he has a distinct way of speaking for that role.
