Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Two wonderful people: Al and Bob, yes friends and colleagues but very different from one another and thus actors who approach the roles they’ve played differently. Their methods each exacting — Al will write all his dialogue as he himself might say it, study that and then translate it back into the original dialogue. Bobby meticulously chooses everything his character might touch or wear. The result may well be making the roles exceedingly personal to them. Regardless of the approach, they have given magnificent performances throughout their careers.
