I think the actors in 'Greystoke' were amazing. They had a really good performance coach called Peter Elliott who's, of his time, one of the greatest simian performance coaches for actors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.
Nick Lea is a great actor, and doing scenes with him was always awesome.
I liked working with Tom Christopher as he was great as Hawk, and Wilfred Hyde White but I wished it were in a different context as the changes really tuned off the audience.
As a young actor, I worked with Kevin McNally and have always thought him brilliant.
I feel very privileged to have worked with a lot of outstanding actors: Alun Armstrong, Peter Mullan, Matt Smith and Andrew Garfield.
Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.
I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I've been such a big fan of his acting.
There are many actors I admire, but I always look at people who have done a variety of roles - people such as Simon Russell Beale or Ralph Fiennes.
I was very new to working in front of the camera when I started shooting 'Gatsby', so I set myself the mission of gleaning as much information as possible out of the much more experienced actors. The cast was astoundingly talented.
I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.
