Brad Tate

Danny, what was his name?

Joe Pesci became that guy.

He became that made man.

He became that villain.

Even if you remember, take The Dark Knight.

when Heath Ledger locked himself in a room and made himself crazy to bring the Joker to life.

Do you really think there's actors now that have that discipline and that I want to do this so well that I'm willing to go crazy to do it?

I don't feel like they do that anymore.

Right, you know, like that Denzel Washington.

You've heard people talk about Denzel when they go, you know,

when Denzel Washington was doing American Gangster, he became Frank Lucas, and he would not be cool with the cast that were the cops.

He was like, bro, I'm Frank Lucas right now.

You know what I'm saying?

So I don't feel like actors are doing that now.

I feel like they're all buddy-buddy, and then somebody says action, and then they kinda do it, and they say cut, and then they go back to talking about, hey, this recipe, and how their wife's doing this, and where we're gonna vacation at.

Right, and they're like... Movies are like... They're in the theaters one week and then you're getting them on Amazon Prime the next.

So it's just... Everything is just so fast-paced.

You know, like...

You used to wait a year for a movie.

The anticipation they would build it up.
