Here's a secret of mine: I think acting might be the easiest thing to do in Hollywood. All this talk about the craft and art is bullshit. Anyone who "can't act" simply isn't intelligent enough or doesn't have the memory capable of remembering nuances of a character. Even a director is just head coach of a huge team trying to get everyone pulling in the same direction. A cinematographer, however, I think is a true artist. It is something that takes years of honing the craft and developing an eye for what will work and what won't. Nobody notices that the DOP is somebody that has to make it look like its 7 p.m. when it's really noon. So when Christian Bale goes off on the DOP on the set of the new Terminator movie for four minutes and uses the fuck word 37 times — I'm more likely to go see the DOP's next movie than Bale's.
