Chris O'Dowd is a very special talent. He's one of those very, very rare actors who can be the clown, or he can be the straight man playing off the clown, in a scene.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My daughter recommended Chris O'Dowd to me after seeing him in 'Bridesmaids,' so I watched that and his sitcom, 'The IT Crowd.' When I was over in London, we met up, and I knew immediately he was the right person.
When you're onstage with Chris Rock, anything can happen. He is one of the greatest comic geniuses we've ever seen.
Chris Guest is the godfather of improvisational comedy.
Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.
I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director, and his sensibility - I wouldn't even know how to articulate it - it's just, he's a very sensitive, interesting guy.
On 'Silver Linings Playbook,' David O. Russell is the master at getting his actors to give him something that he doesn't expect. He loves to keep things spontaneous. He talks to the actors throughout a take because, in real life, you don't know what the next person is going to say; you don't know when you're going to get interrupted.
What the actor is in private life, he is to a large extent on the stage, because he cannot conceal himself and his true personality from his audience.
Chris Cooper is one of my favorite actors in the world. I've seen him in most everything he's done.
Chris Rock is a very funny man.
Chris Guest movies are funny.
