Have you all heard the famous tale of Olivier and Hoffman? Forgive me if you
all ready know it, but Laurence and Dustin were in a movie together where
they were playing some guys who were staying up all night, tired, unshaven,
etc. Dustin literally did these things and came on to the set totally
burned-out tired. Laurence coolly looked at him and said; "Why don't you try
acting?"
