András Forgács W: dare I say Renfield — Subium • Bluesky web client

there’s a fantastic interview with him from a couple/few years ago where he talks about how important on-set professionalism is to him and how taking basically every movie that comes across his desk is how he tries to stay sober and out of trouble because he doesn’t drink when he’s working

Spoke to a friend who worked on a recent Nicolas Cage movie in a senior capacity and was very very happy to discover that he’s a consummate pro who works harder than anyone else, all the time, and is lovely to the crew. I needed that.

That's sadder than I had assumed, he always seemed to me like he just really liked being in movies (similar to Tom Cruise).

i mean, it’s that, too, he genuinely loves the work, it seems like the only thing he really, truly loves doing

and he *does* good work, he actually does stretch himself taking up unexpected roles

It helps that he's out of debt now, so it's not just taking any role to pay that off/keep himself distracted.

Lately he has been doing probably his best work, which is a strange thing to say but it's true

At least since leaving las vegas for sure. PIG and THE UNBERABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT were both spectacular.

dare I say Renfield

Renfield was great (though IMO Awkwafina wasn't great in it). Would love to see more stuff like that.
