  Genuinely did not realise that Stellan Skarsgård had a stroke. I’m glad to see him on our screens but it’s a shame that’s he’s got ongoing struggles with his memory and some of his thought processes.

  I'd love to see a video on casting directors. I have attempted it a couple times whilst studying film production at uni! I'd find that super interesting and informative, as for all your vids!!

  That Letterman interview with Christopher Reeve being crazy honest about Brando is amazing.

  I really wish we could have had a real opportunity to study Brando's brain and psychology. I thoroughly believe he was mental unwell. I'm bipolar and I see a lot of behavior patterns and anecdotes that remind me of myself when I was unmedicated. He was so talented and, at times, so caring and empathetic that it's bizarre how unhinged his behavior could be.

  Unless it it's actually laziness AND causes some kind of issue on set there shouldn't be any problem with an earpiece... Some actors improvise, some alter the sound of their voice, and the fact that so many of the people spoken about in this video were Oscar nominees and/or winners should show us that at the very least us as just the viewing audience shouldn't have any problem with it. As an amateur actor I can say just learning to work with others is a major part to putting out great content.

  I’ve had COVID four times (I have two jobs working with elementary-aged kids and I don’t have an amazing immune system, so there’s no avoiding it no matter how hard I’ve tried), and the damage it’s done to my brain sounds so much like what Stellan’s describing in the beginning of this video. I think it obviously must not be as bad as his stroke, but feeling like you can’t hold a conversation anymore and can’t remember how you’re supposed to say things is so distressing, it can’t be put into words. If I could have someone in my ear giving me the confidence that I’m saying the right thing, it would make my life so much better.

  “We did not use AI to do the voice of Marlon Brando.” 😂. Thanks for the giggle. &nbsp;Needed that.

  Maybe what&apos;s fun to explore is how to direct actors with disabilities on a set.<br><br>For example, I once saw a news story here in Belgium of a director who made a movie about the three kings for Jesus&apos; story, but all played by actors with dawn syndrome. Apparently the director acted out each scene beforehand and the actors mimcked it so that it would look like what the director wanted.<br><br>Equally on the recent Wicked movies, it must&apos;ve have been easy to set up a flying stunt for an actress in a wheelchair and I did wonder how much the normal stunt work changed when you have to compensate for not only the actor, but the wheelchair as well and still keep it safe.
