So I knew two days before that we were going to be on the Caribbean and thats on the Yucatan Peninsula, which is equally exciting because theres so much history there, and I already visited some Mayan ruins in Honduras, I mean, a long time ago. Thank you. I mean, Scorsese. ! And that was a joy. But I guess its because they know that we have the range and that we made the strong choices so they can pull us back or push us to go further if they want to. I was shooting their first episode. If you found this page interesting or useful, please share it. Oh, my God. really, you know, Sanford Meisner said you're living truthfully, under imaginary circumstances. I learned that as doing jackass, because I would get a big guest. Yeah. One of my first performances as a cop was at an Irish bar when I was 16. If I have to bring in my own. And if it's more natural, and it has to be done, though, it has to be done. And it was just we had this, you know, we had a five-acre ranch. And, and, you know, go out there and audition and fight for it. You know, I think, I think the reason that I get cast often as bad guys or sort of characters who you're not sure about, that you're, you know, they're morally ambivalent. I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona. Um, I talked to an actor, was my favorite line ever of talking about my kid. So on the Friday, we come in for a rehearsal and Im like, Rehearsal? Im so used to TV and we didnt shoot it, but we came in for rehearsal. But definitely in like, night writer in the 80s. And yes, my dad's in television, and I'm, I'm going down to Time Square in the theater district all the time. Im doing research on Mexico City and like two days before we have to go down there, the travel coordinator calls and says, Okay, I want to book your flight to Tulum. Im like, Tulum? I was like, really, really, really. So I spent all this time creating, as if I was going to be a Scorsese movie, like I was really, I created like a whole character background, I'd done a whole diary for him. Yeah. And then they had this revolving piece that came in the middle that were where the the pie shop and where his barbershop was, but it was stark, and it was open, and you're so you're already in a mood, you're feeling this late, you know, 19th century England Industrial Revolution, and there's something very hard about it, and then the steam whistle goes off. So, for me, Pinewood was iconic, right? So it's amazing to immerse yourself in it, but you'll even just this leverage thing. And they're making these beautiful, gritty, realistic movies that are that were. And now, you know, we've got, I mean, I've got more power and bandwidth in my house, they had an entire control room, but it's an all analog world. So were Pissed Fish right now. So, you know, that's another you know, that's, you always have to remember. But journeyman was such an amazing thing, because Kevin McKidd who played the lead who played we played brothers, I had been obsessed my wife and I've been obsessed with Rome. Yeah, the first season was it was. Oh, there was an actor that he was on Homicide. 16 millimeter. And and that was another thing you know, my dad had an extraordinary collection, I guess my mom and my dad, but of musical theater of LPs and I, my earliest memories are just laying on the floor five and listening to Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl and playing those LPs and that had, so all of the raw materials for making me want to become an actor. But that's also you know, we're talking about New York City that was kind of the magic of growing up in that city. It's like sort of that exchange of energy between you and them. He is known for the roles of Det. So the beauty of that and Clark talks about this all the time Clark Johnson play my partner, one of the greatest directors of all time, amazing guy, amazing actor missing human. And you're with sort of this picked group of fans who've paid to be there. And I'm definitely on a Johnny Depp type, but I go, I really, I've researched this character. That's when the BC riches are coming in and people want and then Eddie Van Halen come along. How many? And, and, and, and by doing comedic improv shows, it reminded me a couple of things, that first of all, you can just have a word or a sentence, and you can create a whole show out of that. Because then because it's 7980 Right? And wed just improvise, and we shot it on film. And they're doing it's much broader. It's like, it's like, you kill the momentum. But as far as preparing, it really depends, because, for me, one of the biggest changes that happened in my career was I'm halfway through you know, this is so in the late 90s. DIAMOND: And its hard, right? And then in the 90s, it went back to like the pulp fiction's and the fight clubs was more like, the gritty like dark films. And shes like, Youre terrible at taking selfies. And the guys dont do it that much. Of course, all he had tons of Kubrick stories and all the horrible like he was he was part of that whole group of all the crazy British actors. And the guy was like, Oh, listen to this one. And shes like, Thats a much better amp. She was right. I'm like, Oh, crap, and I go, but then if it's Scooby Doo, I get to play my most fun villain. So even where the squad room was, it wasnt flat. And like, I know so many incredibly talented people who don't work as much as they should or never worked. We named after my dogs breath. Diamond Walk at Sandton City. The method to his madness was by improvising and doing so much and getting so comfortable. You want your icons, to you don't want and that's what's so funny because when people start bragging about and I'm like, the people that are really successful they don't brag like that. Yeah, it was a magical place. He has performed on Broadway, in numerous films, and in 100s of episodes of television. Like I had, there was nothing that was gonna be too challenging. But I mean, but that was one of those where I realized, oh, there's a lot going on here that I I'm not up to this. But that's not really what I tend to look for. Ive been improvising for 6 hours and all the background guys are like, Oh man, youre killing it so good! I go, Im not killing it. And he's acted in a ton of great stuff, including Moneyball, 24, Wayward Pines, billions and tons more. Captcha failed to load. So the more you can make those people feel real by improvising, or finding a moment that isn't necessarily historically accurate, but as you know, the Crown isn't a documentary, but it's you feel like you know, who those people are. DIAMOND: We cant say anything. He gives me more to do and then when we shot the scene, we ended up improvising almost the whole thing. I just did, I guess I can say this. I'm coming off of an overnight plane because I've shot something in Toronto, and I'm landing in Pittsburgh, and I come to the first read through and she's like, read, she said, same thing. And I remember Tom called me, he said, What do you want to do? I go, I think I think we should end it. But my daughter is also really good. Out of stock. I mean, I really love it. They were great. ILLUMINATE: Exactly you put on your picture. And every once in a while, I would hit lines from somebodys version of the script. And we're shooting in Pittsburgh. And he handled it with such great, so it was really cool to be part of that in that world. And so like, all of that desire to play a cop, truthfully on TV mixed with their, I mean, the best writing, you know, one can imagine in this incredible cast, it sort of morphed, and then that character had this sort of extraordinary trajectory. So I had a great scene in this movie, MONEYBALL with Brad Pitt and Bennett Miller directed it. And I was going to buy a new amp, guitar amp. Now it come to fruition, and you've got these directors, I mean, all these amazing directors, you know, are all going to school together. It was like an old Twilight Zone. And so I was very excited. But like, when you have kind of a smaller part like in Moneyball, and you're playing a real life person, do you get to research it you reach out to Mark Shapiro, I mean, that's a great casting job, by the way, cuz I looked at him and he was like, You look like Mark Shapiro, like it's pretty good casting job. So I kind of had free run of the place. And Joanne Woodward happened to be married to this little icon called Paul Newman. It's the, it's you being open to the Muse coming down from wherever it is and being transferred through you. So that was spectacular. But all I can say is he he was amazing. And in my later life in my 40s I got back into it again started a band and, and and got much better, you know, got my chops down, and I still love it and I'm still I'll I'll be recording stuff tonight. And, and it's exciting. I mean, like until you Brad Pitt brings in a rewritten scene, and I've been with the actors who have rewritten the scene and like, no, he's given me more stuff. There was a problem subscribing you to this newsletter. 4. be said about that, too. But also, like, I grew up in a different time, I came up in a different time. But I go, I, I really, I sort of set this intention for myself. Right? And it had a little cafeteria hot plate thing in the front so the food be like you'd literally bring a tray through and all these all these old school Irish bars, they're all gone.
