I think Matt just really impressed him.

I especially like that part.

Quote:

But he is playing me, so he not only has to act, he has to become someone he has very little in common with in his personal experience. And beyond that, he has to play a character that has never really been before in modern cinema. With all those chips stacked against him, he's STILL turning in a transcendent performance, and THAT is the mark of a great actor--to excel even when you are playing a character who's emotional range is outside of your own. [As a side note, I am going to write something about this later, how amazing it's been to watch Matt grow into this character and inhabit it and make it his own. Watching it in rehearsal was awesome, but watching him do it when it counts, on film, is something else. Everyone on set is talking about this--we are seeing a star being born right in front of our eyes. Right now, the only people on earth who know how good of an actor this kid is are the Gilmore Girls fans who watched him steal scenes for three years, but soon, the whole world will know.]
