Quotes
Well, I’ve been a fan of Louis’ for years and years and years, and an old friend as well, so I’ve always wanted to work with him, and even while I was living in L.A. for eight years, I used to call him often saying, ‘Just send me another play, send me another play so I can read it’. I just wanted to read his stuff, not thinking I’d ever work with him because I was living somewhere else
But at the same time, it’s Louis through-and-through, you know… The character work is intense but all in the words—in the dialogue. I mean, it’s a thriller, so it builds like a thriller, but at the same time it has Louis’s original lens on it, you know. Just really incredible
it’s tough, because actors are taught… not necessarily taught, but I guess we’re used to furniture, props, things on stage to use to communicate to other characters.”
