\nVoight was so desperate to play Joe Buck that he worked for scale: \u201c\u2018Tell them I’ll do this part for nothing,\u2019\u201d Voight recalled to The Telegraph<\/em>. \u201cThey took me at my word, and they gave me minimum for Midnight Cowboy<\/em>.\u201d At the end of the shoot, they sent him a $14.73 bill for meals on the last day of filming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\nWhat made the chemistry between Hoffman and Voight work so well is they were constantly competing with one another. Hoffman became a movie star before Voight did, and that brought some jealousy to the set. \u201cWe were like Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard, two fighters going at it,\u201d Hoffman told the Los Angeles Times<\/em>. \u201cWe knew the movie depended on the bond between us. All through shooting, we\u2019d say to each other, out of the side of our mouths, like a fighter in a clinch, \u2018Buddy, is that the best you can do?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n\u201cWhy pebbles? It\u2019s not like you\u2019re playing a role on Broadway for six months where you\u2019re so used to it, limping becomes second nature,\u201d Hoffman told Vanity Fair<\/em>. \u201cThe stone makes you limp, and you don\u2019t have to think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
