Shot two scenes for a feature film today. As pretty much always, it was a blast! No surprise there, as the character I play is a hoot. She's very... difficult. It's fun to play roles like that, as I try not to be too terribly difficult on a day-to-day basis. Updates to come!

"I see The Usual Suspects as the time where I was, quote unquote, discovered. It took me six, seven years to get to that place. And it was not easy. You're fighting with people who doubt you and your choice of career. There are a lot of doubts - and you have to stay focused with what you want. I never put a time limit on me being successful or not. I just cared about the work as an actor. But it wasn't easy because there were a lot of ups and downs. I don't know if you know much about baseball, but baseball is the game of failure. You deal with failure - strike, strike, strike - all the time. Acting is like that. You have to have a very thick skin in a way - your hair is too dark, you're too ugly for the part, your audition wasn't good." - Benicio Del Toro
