More Quotes from David Strathairn:
So much money and energy is expended making a film that I think it should be used for positive ends.David Strathairn
During shooting, I can remember two or three times when George would say, 'Just do it a little bit faster,' ...

Like Fred Friendly, he was managing the room.
