Personal Quote:

A great number of the war films I saw, however, didn't match my own experience... The uniforms were pressed, the guys were clean, and they reacted in such a heroic fashion to life in extremes. No matter what Sir Laurence Olivier had to say, it isn't just acting when something is so out of your frame of reference. You have to have an idea of what the truth is. Nobody did. See more »

Trivia:

Has worked with film legends Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, and Oliver Stone among others. See more »
