Actress Vera Farmiga gave advice to legendary director Martin Scorsese on the set of their 2006 movie The Departed.
The 35-year-old insists she wasn't intimidated by Scorsese's reputation as a formidable moviemaker and was quick to give him her opinion on her character - urging him to have the role rewritten.
She says, "The wonderful thing about Marty is that he will say, 'Listen, the part's c**p - it's not quite there but we will get it there, and are you game to do it? So we worked to build her (the character) up to introduce inconsistencies and contradictions and all the stuff that makes people human. I need a director as much as they need me."
