Yeah, I remember seeing Rushmore in the theater when it first came out and feeling like, fuck, this is fucking great. Right. Because there wasn't any... There's no winking. Well, there's no, yeah, there was no pretense.

It was just, they came out, obviously they had Bill Murray, but you got the sense that these guys were young and they didn't know what they were doing and they were going to try shit and they weren't part of the system yet.

You know, I recognize, I think I have less patience at times and I value, I have so much more respect for actors who really come to bring it, who are really there to work and who are smart and who are thinking. I just worked with Betty Gilpin. I don't know if you guys have met Betty Gilpin. She's in something I just did, American Primeval, and she's just a wonderful, wonderful

It's called American Primeval, and it's a very violent show.

Yes, I do.

But to your question, I recognize if I've made a mistake in casting, and sometimes you do, and usually it's smaller roles, but sometimes it's not. Who? Who? I'm not going to say. I won't mention names. I'm sorry. But I get frustrated with myself for allowing myself to put someone in a situation that they're just not right for.

And I've had moments where I want to get angry with actors and just say, you know, give line readings or just yell at them. Be better. Yeah, just do it fucking better. Do something. But that unfortunately is not an effective strategy at all. So I've learned enough to know that generally in editing, you can fix things.

And oftentimes I've worked with, I've directed actors who I thought were really kind of shitting the bed. And later in editing, I found that they weren't. But- Right. In general, I find that getting, as I've gotten older, when I did my first movie, Very Bad Things, I was so insecure and confused. And I had Cameron Diaz and Christian Slater at the height of his career, and I was making a movie.
