26 Things We Learned from Kurt Russell\u2019s \u2018Breakdown\u2019 Commentary.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 Before you click over, here are three of my favorites and thoughts on each…<\/p>\n Russell says J.T. Walsh might just be his favorite American actor. He also recalls how both he and Mostow (CO-Writer & Director) had independently decided on who should play the trucker and were pleased to discover they were both thinking of Walsh. \u201cHe\u2019s flawless. Nothing fake, nothing phony.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(JT Walsh isn’t an actor most folks think of when talking the best actors.\u00a0 I love it when big name celebrities recognize and promote lesser known actors. – Craig)<\/p>\nRussell had hesitated on signing on to the film as he had just finished a movie and wanted to be home every night, so De Laurentiis worked some extra magic to make it happen. \u201cYou were picked up every morning, taken to a private airstrip, flown by jet then there\u2019d be a helicopter waiting to fly you to the makeup trailer,\u201d says Mostow, \u201cwe\u2019d finish somewhere around 4:30 in the afternoon and we\u2019d hear the helicopter coming back.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(That is amazing that they wanted Russell so bad that they worked this out to get him! – Craig)<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re an actor, you act,\u201d says Russell after Mostow asks if he ever doubted the character or his portrayal. He references Dakota Fanning in Steven Spielberg\u2019s War of the Worlds, saying \u201cShe screams as much as she talks in that movie, but she\u2019s got fifteen different screams.\u201d His point is that \u201cyou\u2019re playing the same beat, but you can\u2019t play it the same way.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 (Again, Russell recognizing a fellow actor, this time a child, and praising their acting abilities.\u00a0 Gotta love Kurt Russell.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rob Hunter, at Film School Rejects, presents 26 Things We Learned from Kurt Russell\u2019s \u2018Breakdown\u2019 Commentary.\u00a0 Before you click over,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,54,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-movies","category-trivia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28491"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28492,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28491\/revisions\/28492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
