So it would be a little bit more like that.” Because what I’m after is their reactions, expressed in both body language and dialogue. You have to present the situation as if it’s impacting them for the first time, and then orientate them so that when the stimuli arrive, they have reactions. They’re not going to hit their marks the same way there isn’t the shorthand there.
Every take is going to be somewhat different. And so somebody who has a lot of natural charisma but doesn’t have the tradecraft, you approach them in a very different way. But I believe it’s the director’s responsibility to modify my approach to the language and orientation of the actor. He hadn’t, for example, done 14 years on stage like Nick Nolte. But you still wouldn’t direct him exactly the same way.

I’m not sure but I think we were the first serialized show on network television. And then it occurred to me to do a serial, just like a daytime soap, except do it in prime time. I’m talking about Tony Spilotro, whom the Ray Luca character was based on, as was the Pesci character in Casino. One was, I know this fantastic saga, this true life saga of organized crime in Chicago and its move to Vegas. I remember I was sitting on my porch, and suddenly two things occurred to me at the same time.
