Guy Pearce

Cast

“I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.”

I love the quote above - so true. I've read this from other actors and we discussed the idea of "good and bad" plenty in film school. I always asked my actors to think of morality in terms of opposites - how would a drug dealer rationalize his "job" (think Hustle & Flow) or what makes a thief comfortable stealing (De Niro in Heat). Very often good people do bad things, just as the opposite is true. I've been a fan of Guy Pearce forever. I can't remember which film I first saw him in - maybe Ravenous (which btw at the San Diego Comic Con they gave out beef jerky with the movie name on it as a promo). The Proposition, L.A. Confidential, Memento, and Ravenous are superb films. @ULRICH: Great note about him in Warhol, really top notch!
