Well like i said, don't get too excited. I could get cut. I'm interrupting Denzel on a phone call so they could easily have him walk in talking on the phone, cut to the otherside of the conversation, and cut back to him skipping my interuption whereupon he turns around and finds the earing clue.
In fact I'm 99.9% this will hapen and you will never hear me utter a word as I could never figure out how my character served the story in anyway. Only guess is that since Denzel is working on this case covertly, me interrupting him could show that he's nervous about it or doesn't want to be overheard .... but that's all I could come up with.
Plus there are guys on here that have way more acting cred than me
like Alvarez

and of course Kimko

But hay JACK!
I didn't know you had a speaking part TOO!
weather it gets cut or not man at least you got a speaking part man! WOW! that's even cooler. I've been in several movies and TV shows and couldn't even spot myself as a blur in the far distance! And the only speaking roll I had was on the news!:huh:
DENZEL: (speaking on phone) he already had an S.U.V., now he has one with stolen plates, don't you see -
JACK: (walks up / interrupts him) You wanna mask?
DENZEL: ... I'm sorry what?
JACK: A mask?
DENZEL: (looks confused, shakes his head/leans in asking for clarification non-verbally)
JACK: A mask ... you want one?
DENZEL: Uh ... no ... no ... it's fine.
JACK: alright ...
DENZEL: (BACK ON PHONE) don't you see, all we did was (etc) ...
or something like that ... like I said he was improvising from take one (gulp)
as you can see, not exactly an oscar moment
, but yeah, definitly fun + I'm S.A.G. elligible because of it.

yeha!!!! still amazing, jack, still amazing.
anyone would feel it is an honor to have a picture of themselves on imdb... but a picture with a star is even more incredible.

Yeah, that is very cool, Jack. And Denzel is the man! That must have been a very fun experience!

From what it sounds like, Denzel was sort of stand-offish. Thoughts?
Maybe.
But if you went into a meeting where some way up there executive was brokering a deal worth several million dollars and he didn't act like a candy striper, would you call him stand offish? Or just extremely focused in a high pressure situation that few of us can imagine for which he is payed millions of dollars.
So ... I think he acted like someone with millions of dollars riding on his shoulders who is also very dedicated to his craft - a real actor / artist and who is also a rich celebrity that people are always hassling all the time. I think it would be pretty hard to go from "Awe man your awesome, that one part in the Manchurian Candidate where you were all like hypnotized, that was awesome, awe man it's a pleasure to be working with you ... I mean your like one of the greatest living actors on the planet" to "Action" ok now suddenly you are an ATF agent watching a dead girls life through the past and falling in love with her as you see her life in the past even though she's already dead and you are trying desperately to solve the case in order to keep her from dying in the first place.
So while it would have been "fun" and made me a little more at ease if he had shaken my hand or patted me on the back, I can totally understand his position and acting method and wasn't offended by it. I mean this is a guy that gets films green lit, it must be so much harder to do your job if some newb actor is asking you a million questions about the craft and your career between takes. Also, he wants the moment to be happening for real on camera for the first time. If our characters were supposed to have a history or some rapport then maybe he would've chatted me up between takes. But they were strangers, so the only time we interacted was in the scene. May seem extreme, but no more so I think than olympic swimmers shaving all their body hair ... when the stakes are this high every small advantage to be at your best matters.
Now it was Tony Scott's job to make me feel at ease, hence all the goofy faces and stuff, although I suspect he has a proclivity for that anyway.
Now by the same token, our driver also worked on Ray and she talked about how Jamie Foxx would be cracking everyone up and just acting the clown on set and then the second they yelled "Action" his whole body would change and he would drop into Ray Charles in a blink of an eye completely in character and nailing it.
That works for him, a comic, an entertainer whose very talented, but this other highly focused insulated way which is about shutting everything out but the reality of the character works for Denzel.
So I wasn't offended, just a tad bit more intimidated/nervous than I would have been otherwise, but like I said, Mr. Scott helped with that end a good bit.

I'm probably annoying other members who have read about this all before, but I figured it was better to quote myself here rather than ressurect a dead thread in the cafe and have two threads going ... though this thread will probably get moved to the cafe if it doesn't die here in a bit.apollyon said:
but probably better here for now where the cafe vets don't have to be bored by me again
Glad you found the set report useful :thumbup:

It all makes sense about Denzel and the way he handles his craft. He's a stunning actor, so whatever he does is working quite well.
hopefully not too soon! you know us dvxusers LIVE for this stuff!

What a great read.
Nice work and way to take Denzel like a man. Congrats.
I had a line once in a Kathy Bates movie (Unconditional Love). "I will get your car miss." Course, it was totally cut.
Again, a really interesting read. If you have any other stories like this, post 'em!
And Training Day was da bomb. That whole "sh!t pushed in" sequence scares the sh!t out of me every single time I watch it. BOOM.
