When Scorsese or Coppola cast celebrities in their work, it goes without question.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're a director, and you look at Scorsese's work, he's always challenging us to push the envelope and break the rules. Someone like that is necessary and a godsend.
I know that people get cast based on how they look in Hollywood.
So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.
Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.
Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.
Casting directors don't necessarily want a more recognizable commercial face. Sometimes, they want a lesser known person.
There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
Whenever any actor comes into a producer session, they have so many questions, and we still can't really tell them that much until they get the job.
