So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Originally the film opened with Ryan in the doctor's office, being told his wife is dying. Then we see him walking the streets, and the story is told in flashback.
I liked a lot of the scenes I did with Ryan Phillippe.
It was great as an actor to be given the story line I was given but I didn't expect Craig to stay so it was a lovely twist when I found out they'd decided to keep him.
Ali... we should have gone to see that movie. Malcolm X was another one.
Ryan is my bridge to the past, to memories that lose some of their sting when he recounts them.
As Peter Bogdanovich would say of Paper Moon: Ryan's wonderful in it, and he sat there and watched the kid steal the picture.
I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.
I remained Ryan's companion on the Hollywood party circuit, growing inured to sex and drugs before I was in my teens.
There was a scene early on during the first season of Roswell and I broke down crying. Since then, I've always just been able to do it.
Do you remember a scene with Ryan and Ali playing in the snow? Well, that was improvised.
