Do you create a backstory in your mind? What’s the process? It depends on where they want to take him.Īfter one show, it appears that Martin has a few secrets. Everyone were taken aback by the fan response. I thought “Martin Gray” was a nod to Tad’s last name and the fact that I’ve been around! It was truly a limited character, someone already on the books. Yes, some were evil twins, but you'd be surprised how many of these actors have played unrelated characters. He talked to Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor. I asked him if he’s ever amenable to stunt casting – ‘Oh my Gosh, Michael Knight’s still alive!’ - to please consider me. He was Catherine ’s boss for years in New York. I wanted to work and friends encouraged me to reach out to Frank. Knight: At the risk of deflating everything, it’s a nothing burger. When your casting was announced, people thought maybe Tad’s back? How’d your return to daytime come about? In the meantime, check out his following chat with TV Insider in which we talked to him about what brought him back to soaps, theories about who his legal eagle character may (or may not) be related to, which GH star he’d like to work with, and what it was like sharing screen-time with Jennifer Bassey (ex-Marian, AMC). Knight’s set to air again on GH next week. The three-time Emmy-winner debuted earlier this week as attorney Martin Gray, an attorney who stands to make a lot of friends (not!) in town if he’s successful in helping scheming Nelle (Chloe Lanier) get paroled. Knight onto the Port Charles canvas not as his beloved AMC character, Tad “the Cad” Martin, but rather as someone new. All that matters is he keeps on ticking.Even though ABC has the rights to the characters from All My Children and One Life to Live once more, General Hospital opted to bring fan favorite Michael E. What makes him tick? Hatred? Humiliation? A toxic combination of the two or more? Take your pick. Shorn of his facility for boxing, he's the abusive husband or father people suffer because they have no choice. There are few Bickels and Pupkins, but there are many LaMottas. As embodied by De Niro, he is violence incarnate. LaMotta is a winner, a tenacious fighter whose propensity for punishment, giving it and taking it, was publicly celebrated and privately feared. Travis Bickel and Rupert Pupkin (of Scorsese's "The King of Comedy") were deep-tissue studies in derangement they provided squirm-inducing insight into the lives of loners/losers. De Niro's LaMotta is all appetite, and he feasts primarily on conflict. This is all technically impressive, but it's the interiority of the performance that both dazzles and terrifies. Then the production shut down for several months so the star could take a four-month binge-eating tour of Italy, during which he packed on seventy pounds to play LaMotta as an older, heftier man. LaMotta supervised the actor's boxing training, which went so well the former champ claimed De Niro would've been one of the 20 greatest middleweights of all time.
There's nothing in its class because only a celluloid-in-his-veins filmmaker like Scorsese could operate on this meta level.ĭe Niro's fierce, physical commitment to the role is legendary. The tension between Felson and Vincent is palpable, but, at an elemental level, this is Newman schooling Cruise in the fine art of motion-picture immortality. Newman was once the blue-eyed toast of Hollywood, a straight-up ladykiller who could've coasted on his looks, but respected himself and his audience too much to phone it in ( with a few notable exceptions). The film is as much about Newman and Cruise as it is about their characters.
It's a fascinating contrast in movie-star styles, and it's the game within the game that makes "The Color of Money" so enthralling. The former pool shark sees a sliver of himself in the obnoxiously talented Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise), and takes a shine to his street-smart girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). 25 years after the release of "The Hustler," Newman imbues the older "Fast" Eddie Felson with a bitter vigorousness.
