I'm so impressed with Brad's sensitivity in "Emotional Stuntman - Bradley Whitford". I'm reminded of the story told of the good ol'days, before CGI....
When filming Midnight Cowboy in 1969, Dustin Hoffman (Ratso Rizzo) couldn't find the right degree of spontaneous energy in the street-crossing scene with the taxicab -- "I'm walkin' here!" The director, John Schlesinger, was about to give up when he remembered a young tennis player from Long Island who could capture the moment perfectly. On the next day, he set up a long-focus shot with John McEnroe limping in the crosswalk in the rumpled white suit with Jon Voight (Joe Buck) - and the rest is history.
Fascinating. For example, the death penalty in politics is reserved for being bad on TV.
And the creative community (hopefully) putting money behind these local races. Thanks.
