The thing that's strange about Frank Vincent is that actors of his quality are usually big stars.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew Vincent Price from films - he was a big movie star - but the first time I met him was when we filmed 'The Oblong Box.'
Frank is such a great visual storyteller, that if you study his artwork you see that his Sin City books are already the best movies never seen on the big screen.
The thing about many celebrities - not all - is that they're fantastic actors.
I'd rather be Vincent Price than a red-neck character actor. You can't predict what will happen.
The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
Great actors are people who just meld into the part without calling attention to the fact that they are so-and-so doing this part. They may never become huge stars, but will always, in memory, stay respected actors.
Any actor who is being honest will admit there's always a small or large part of the real you in every character. It's impossible not to have that.
The point at which we worked with some of these actors, they weren't really stars yet. Nicolas Cage was not a big star when we did Raising Arizona. A lot of these people were also virtually unknown, too, when we worked with them first.
Once you've been booked, people in Hollywood say, 'Oh he must be good.' All the while you're the same actor.
