Real Things

Real Things
 
Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights, Traffic, Punch Drunk Love) talks about his craft, and remembers one of his first directions from a casting director: 
 
“Kill me with your eyes.”
 
Guzman started training seriously after he started working professionally:
 
“I was like a dull knife – I had the tool, I just needed to sharpen it.” 
 
But he regards his own experience as important as his training:
 
“My life is my reference.  I know what it feels like to laugh.  I know what it feels like to cry.  I know what it feels like to feel pain, I know what it feels like to bury somebody.  I know what it feels like to be loved, I know what it feels like to not be loved.  I know what it feels like to be hungry and have only a dollar in your pocket.  Those are real things; you can’t fake that stuff.”
