Kevin Spacey

If you believe you can beat the shit out of everybody on stage, the audience will too. So I then started to learn fill. And the way it works when you're in understudy, unless you're a name, they don't let you rehearse on the stage. You just rehearse in a rehearsal room. But I used to sneak onto the stage and rehearse and try to figure out where the props were. Anyway, one day I get... I'll call.

You're going on today. It's Phil. So I went on. Nichols is told by Peter Lawrence, who's the stage manager, Spacey's going on as Phil. So Nichols comes down and watches the second act. Comes backstage. He says, that was really good. How soon could you learn Mickey? Mickey was the role that Ron Silver was playing, that Chris Walken also played. I said, I don't know, maybe a couple weeks.

He goes, learn Mickey too. So I learned Mickey. And then one day I'm told, you're going on tomorrow night as Mickey. Nichols comes, sees the second act, comes backstage, says, that was really good. I mean, that was really funny. How soon could you learn Eddie? And so I became like the pinch hitter on Hurley Burley.

I learned all the male parts, including Jerry Stiller's, although I never went on as Jerry Stiller's part. And then I left the play. And I guess about two months later, I get this phone call from Mike Nichols. He's like, Kevin, how are you? And I'm like, I'm fine. What can I do for you?

He says, well, I'm going to make a film this summer with Mandy and Meryl, and there's a role I'd like you to come in and audition for. So I went in, auditioned, cast me as this mugger on a subway, Then there's this whole upheaval that happens because he then doesn't continue with Mandy Patinkin. Mandy leaves the movie and he asked Jack Nicholson to come in and replace Mandy Patinkin.

So now I had no scenes with him, but I'm in a movie with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. And my first scene in this movie, which I shot on my birthday, July 26th of 85, um, I got to wink at Meryl Streep in this scene. And I was so nervous. I literally couldn't wink. Nichols had to like calm me down and help me wink. But that became my first, my very first film.

and he was incredible, and he let me come and watch when they were shooting scenes I wasn't in, and I remember ending up one day in the makeup trailer on the same day we were working, Jack and me.
