There are biographies, I looked at a lot of photographs of him, I heard his voice over and over and over again. You get in there and get to know the man by all of those pieces of information. David Strathairn
David Strathairn quote: "In order to crash the party and be a clown with your own skit,..."
In order to crash the party and be a clown with your own skit, you had to be there for quite a while. David Strathairn
David Strathairn quote: "If it's a role like this one, an actual live person, a legend,..."
