They say don't meet your heroes, but he is one you would absolutely love to meet because he will live up to all of your dreams and expectations of who he is.

You can imagine how often I get asked, what's it like to work with Cameron Latour? You've got to tell me that. Because you're not alone in that love for him. I hear such love for him everywhere I go. And when you work with him, you're doing two things. You are under the tutelage of one of the most visionary, brilliant artists in the world ever.

You're also hanging out with like a funny friend who is self-effacing, hilarious, and sassy as can be. So he's – right?

Oh, no. He's got the best sense of humor. And in fact – He's a director that understands his actors better than any director normally does. He directs all of us on the same project in different ways depending on our personality and what we'll respond to because he's already sussed all that out. Wow. He's brilliant with the human spirit and psychology and all of it.

So with the set of buttons on us that he now knows what to push to get what reaction out of us on the day, he'll direct like – so from the Hellboy movies, Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones, very different –

personalities so we all got different types of direction from him oh that's like brilliant now with me it's very simple he knows if he can make me laugh i'll do whatever whatever he says so one of my favorite examples was from hellboy to the golden army there was one long tracking shot that he wasn't going to cut away to anything he had no coverage to cut away to so i had to i had to do a lot of physical business uh while this one camera circled me

And I had to be done with the business by the time the camera stopped. Well, I wasn't. The first take of this, it's like I was going slow and methodical and like milking these moments visually. And by the time the camera stopped, it just stayed there for a while. And I wasn't done yet. Finally, Guillermo del Toro, finally he yells, cut, doggie, you're boring me to tears.

And that's all he had to say. I was like, got it, got it.
