About Keaton:
I'd heard that when you asked him to play the part, his reply was…
"Is this a joke? Are you making fun of me?" Yeah, something along those lines. Then I explained to him why I was asking him to play the part, and he understood I was serious after about five minutes. I told him about how challenging it would be and he said, "Yeah, yeah. let's do this, it sounds great. I'm in." [Pause] I don't think he knew what he getting into, frankly. I think he was a little drunk. We drank a really good bottle of wine that night [laughs].
About Norton:
Edward Norton plays a Method-y actor who thrives on chaos and being difficult. Is his character based on anybody specific?
I won't tell you whom, but yes, he's based on several real people — including Edward Norton.
