Just because he's a difficult perfectionist doesn't mean he's a jerk. Not at all.
My sister met him, and said he was completely engaging and personal, made a point of making a connection with you even if he was only going to be talking to you for five or ten minutes.
No, from everything I hear he's a swell guy...and he can be a pain-in-the-ass on the set.
MICHAEL DORSEY
Are you saying that nobody in New York
will work with me?
GEORGE FIELDS
No, no, that's too limited...nobody in
Hollywood wants to work with you either.
I can't even send.you up for a commercial.
You played a tomato for 30 seconds...they
went a half a day over schedule because
you wouldn't sit down!
MICHAEL DORSEY
Yes. It wasn't logical.
GEORGE FIELDS
YOU WERE A TOMATO! A tomato doesn't have
logic! A tomato can't move!
MICHAEL DORSEY
That's what I said! So if he can't move,
how's he gonna sit down, George? I
was a stand-up tomato! A juicy, sexy,
beefsteak tomato! Nobody does
vegetables like me! I did an evening
of vegetables off- Broadway! I did
the best tomato, the best cucumber!
I did an endive salad that knocked
he critics on their ass!
