00:00Well, one of the great things about showbiz is you do run into people at various events.
00:05And I ran into her at the Golden Globes, and she was complimentary to me on Better Call Saul,
00:10and I appreciated that so much. I'm such a fan of her acting.
00:14She's fantastic, and she's got a great autobiography, too, by the way, if you haven't read it.
00:19And when we thought of a big bad, the big bad, that's what we call them in action films,
00:26I learned that term.
00:30I thought, what about Sharon Stone? Would she consider it?
00:32I wrote her a letter. I said, this is a genre picture,
00:37and if you'd be willing to consider doing a very big characterization.
00:43A lot of actors, it's all about subtlety. Get it more subtle, more gray area, more murky, more layers.
00:52And I go, no layers, okay? Just bad, evil.
00:57And she was like, I get it. I'll do it.
01:00So I can't believe she said yes, and then, of course, she showed up ready to rock.
01:04But as far as her on set and working with her, listen, I've just spent the last, like, 15 years
01:12working with some of the most studious, hardworking actors.
01:16Brian Cranston, Ray Sehorne, you know, the Broadway show I just did with Carrie Culkin.
01:24And she's that.
01:27I mean, she's an utterly serious actor who wants to understand what her piece is,
01:34who she is, and the tone, and how to make the most of it.
01:38So I got it, and I loved working with her. Loved it.
