Pay TV Industry Subscriber Counts Nearly Unchanged in Third Quarter

NY - Third-quarter earnings season saw big publicly traded cable, satellite TV and telecom companies add about 146,000 pay TV subscribers, while subscribers declined minimally industry-wide when including smaller and privately-held firms. Most on Wall Street see the trends as positive amid cord cutting fears that started about a year ago, even though they say current industry momentum is nothing to brag about. Going into the latest quarterly earnings season, Wall Street observers had a range of different expectations, but agreed that video subscriber trends would likely improve over the year-ago trends and over a second-quarter drop. According to research firm SNL Kagan, whose data is widely used, the U.S. multi-channel universe lost 32,000 subscribers in the third quarter, falling from a total of 100.113 million at the end of June to 100.081 million at the end of September. "The pay TV industry appears to have bounced back from its dismal second quarter," said Wells Fargo analyst Marci Ryvicker in a recent report. "The pay TV industry posted strong results, while Netflix lost 800,000 subscribers; which we believe should help assuage investor concerns that "cord-cutting" is an immediate secular challenge. That said, we believe the pay TV industry is likely to remain a zero-sum game among the incumbent players until the economy and housing market more fully recover." Barclays Capital analyst James Ratcliffe's conclusion from third-quarter earnings season similarly was that housing weakness is still the dominant factor in video sub performance. "U.S. pay TV subscribership was essentially flat in the third quarter," he wrote in his review. "We continue to believe that the minimal pay TV subscriber growth we are seeing in the U.S. market is primarily driven by conditions in the housing market rather than cord cutting, as penetration rates, while not rising, are essentially unchanged." Ryvicker estimated a third-quarter loss of 31,000 subscribers among all video operators - public and private. That compares to her calculation of 464,000 sub losses in the second quarter, or 458,000 according to data from SNL Kagan. The slight decline was also better than the 119,000 sub drop, according to Ryvicker, or 130,000 according to SNL Kagan, in the third quarter of 2010. "The improvement was primarily due to better satellite (+216,000, versus -109,000 in the second quarter and +145,000 in the third quarter 2010) and cable (-584,000, versus -771,000 in the second quarter and -741,000 in the third quarter of 2010) results, both of which were up on a sequential and year-over-year basis," Ryvicker said. "Telco adds (+337,000 versus +416,000 in the second quarter and +477,000 in the third quarter of 2010) were weaker." But Ryvicker argued that "this could be a one-time 'lip" as a strike at Verizon was a drag on results. Comcast, the largest U.S. cable firm, and Time Warner Cable were among those cable operators that reported narrower declines in the latest period. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/time-warner-cable-third-quarter-25... In the satellite TV space, strong gains from DirecTV due in part to its promotion of free NFL Sunday Ticket to new subscribers offset a 111,000 decline at Dish Network, which came in higher than a 29,000 year-ago loss, but was better than some observers' fear of a 150,000 subscriber decrease. DirecTV's addition of 327,000 U.S. pay TV customers in the third quarter compared with 174,000 in the year-ago period and marked the company's strongest third-quarter showing in seven years. "DirecTV was an anomaly due to their...NFL Sunday Ticket for a year promo," cautioned Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce though. Overall, "the nearly 400,000 consumers who left pay TV in the second quarter did not come back, nor has unemployment improved," he added. Pay TV industry subscriber numbers dropped for the first time ever in the second quarter of 2010, with SNL Kagan reporting a 246,000 decline, kicking off the cord cutting debate over whether U.S. consumers were looking to cheaper online options to replace their monthly pay TV bills. The drop in the third quarter of last year seemed to confirm investor fears, but then two quarters of growth calmed concerns. Analysts expect the industry to see no major moves in either direction over the near-term. "Fundamentally, we continue to view the U.S. pay TV market as stable, but in the absence of a return to a more normal level of household formation (1 million-1.5 million per year), the market remains fundamentally zero sum," Ratcliffe concluded.

You Deserve It

Chris Harrison hosts Basic steps new gameshow You Deserve It. Created by Kinetic Content. Executive producers, Chris Coelen, Dick p Rijk, Matilda Zoltowski, Shaun Krask supervisory producers, John Quinn, Aaron Solomon director, Ron p Moraes mind author, SolomonWith: Chris Harrison, Brooke BurnsCredit ABC with perseverance, otherwise always originality, in the resolve for feel-good reality TV, despite middling entertainers like "Secret Uniform." A producer of this show, Chris Coelen, is area of the team behind "You Deserve It," a hodgepodge of other gameshows that culminates using the cash being handed to a desperate (company, deserving) individual, a la "Full for any Day." The cash-raising procedure is kind of a Frankenshow -- sewn together from old used parts -- but just like-gooder holiday filler goes, ABC could do worse. "The Bachelor's" Chris Harrison is really as much cheerleader as host within this context, as each episode opens by presenting an individual, who are able to certainly make use of a substantial chunk of money, being privately famous by their buddies and relatives. Among individuals non-profit souls will have your money can buy, that the naive beneficiary will be provided -- Surprise! Publisher's Reference giveaway-style -- by the end. The overall game is essentially a modest twist on Twenty Questions, with every brief clue subtracting in the beginning total by luck-of-the-draw batches, a la "Deal or No Deal." The greater clues -- and they are especially cryptic, blunting the play-along element -- the greater the prize drops in each round, having a final puzzle that begins at $250,000. Despite dumb gamers, it's an excellent prescription for substantial handbags. And because of the waterworks that flow within the previewed episodes, if ABC does not possess a tissue sponsor tie-in, it's missing a genuine chance. The premiere includes a friend playing for any widowed mother of two, while another hour includes a daughter competing on her mother, that has done many good works in South Central L.A. If there's one truly off-putting note, it is a hyper-caffeinated Brooke Burns, who reaches deliver what's promising towards the naturally overcome recipient. Although there's been much speculation about whether audiences will gravitate toward beneficial material like a balm for that moribund economy, since ABC obtained with "Extreme Transformation: Home Edition," there is scant evidence to buttress such notions apart from CBS' "Undercover Boss." Nonetheless, ABC appears devoted to keep yanking in the heartstrings, eventually wishing to experience a contented tune. According to its merits "You Deserve It" most likely is not the show to get it done, but a kickstart behind "DwtsInch must provide the series a fighting chance -- a minimum of to come back like a utility player. If that's the case, it might mark a rest in the perception that not good-deed-doing show goes unpunished.camera, Don Mann production designer: John Ivo Gilles lead editor, Ryan Ely music, Vanacore Music, Nathan DeVore casting, Paul Gordon. 60 MIN.

Work of Arts The Sucklord on How the Kids Challenge Ruined Him

The Sucklord The Sucklord entered Bravo's Work of Art a brazen supervillain, but left defeated by, among other things, his sentimental side. At the end of this week's episode, he went home after co-designing a colorless maze as street art, a project that he says was the result of having been beaten down physically and emotionally by the competition. "I didn't see it coming but once it came it made total sense to me," he says. "There's not a lot of sleeping that goes on in these things. I was practically half-asleep throughout the entire challenge so I wasn't totally cognizant of what was going on, as evidenced by the mediocrity of my art work. I failed the challenge, I failed the show, I failed the competition. It was time for me to get the hell out of there." TVGuide.com spoke to The Sucklord (nee Morgan Phillips) on Thursday about why he thinks the kids challenge crippled him and why he's working on a China Chow action figure over, say, a Jerry Saltz one. Plus, his thoughts on Lord of the Rings vs. Star Wars, Lola vs. Sarah K, Jerk of Art, penises, and more: Work of Art's Bayete: I couldn't pull it together at all Your partner in the street art challenge, Sarah K., appeared to be the brains behind that maze. Why do you think the judges spared her? Sucklord: It's obvious to me why. I hate to say it, but I think Bill Powers of all people was right: That piece was lacking my voice. That was the problem. Whether it was good or bad, that was the type of thing Sarah K. does. It was clearly more her than me. If it had been a Suckadelic piece, it would have been this gigantic 'F--- you' with all these f---ing deranged Star Wars people all over it, and a 'F--- Jerry Saltz' somewhere. But that's not where my head was at. I was morally destroyed by that point. That's the best I could come up with. At the end of the day, that tiny rat crawling around the edge of the maze was where I was at. That was my contribution and the fact that it was so tiny and diminished was really had had happened to my own voice. ...By putting myself into the competition, I was submitting to a maze if you will, a sort of psychological experiment, and that was the end result: it turned me into the opposite of what I was supposed to be. I was supposed to be this big f---ing supervillain, and I turned out to be this big softie, mushy-mush that cared about everybody and was willing to, like, go down rather than let someone else lose. (Laughs) That's what happened to me, and maybe that's a beautiful thing for a human being but as an artist it was a failure. Was the emotional Sucklord a revelation for you? Sucklord: I mean, I'm painfully aware that that person exists inside me. It does determine a lot of how I operate in the world. But, like anybody, and maybe for me it's more exaggerated, but everybody has this outer self they project, their ego ... but in a competition like this, that ego gets broken down, especially if you keep losing. They deprive you of sleep. They criticize and judge the s--- out of you and make you feel like a loser. Also, I got partnered with that kid and the kid made me start feeling all sentimental, and once that happened, I lost my edge. It's great as maybe a human experience, but you know, the ego for me is what makes the art work, not the sentimental person. That's why all my offerings after the kids challenge were utter garbage. How about before the kids challenge? Do you think the judges got what you were about? Were you putting your best stuff forward? Sucklord: Well, I think the Gandalf challenge was pretty bad. The first mistake I made was misunderstanding the kitsch challenge: I picked the piece of art work that I thought was great already, so what could I do with it except make it worse. And also, it was Lord of the Rings, and I can be sarcastic and ironic with Star Wars until the end of the universe, but with Lord of the Rings, I have too much reverence for it to do anything really transformational. It actually reverted me back to the kind of art work I did when I was 8 years old and I first started really getting into Lord of the Rings. That was a failure. But the motion challenge was more successful. That Flip the Rat, as ugly as that type of thing was, that was totally me. And the Winning Collection was also me. [The judges] didn't seem to give a s--- about those. Maybe there was other art work that was better and got the attention, but once the kids challenge came along and once Jerry Saltz told me I couldn't use Star Wars anymore and I agreed to that, that was really when I lost. When I agreed with his assessment that was when I really lost the game. You've since made a couple of Jerk of Art pieces. How soon after you were sent home did you make that? Sucklord: The idea came to me two days after I was sent home. Like, "Wow, I should have made Jerk of Art on that wall." It was something that ruminated in my mind. And then I thought what most paralleled my experience was that Charlie Brown cartoon where he goes to the spelling bee and all his friends are rooting for him and he gets everything right until he has to spell "beagle," the kind of dog Snoopy is, and he blows the most obvious word. ... I should have nailed that street art, but I failed. That made me feel like Charlie Brown, so I put him in as a parallel to my own experience. Was it therapeutic making it? Sucklord: Well, I just thought it was something that had to be said. That's what I do, I make those little toys and they say things about me. I wanted to at least go back and show what I can do with the action figure as far as making some sort of commentary about myself. You recommended that reality TV stars carry something they can sell at all times, and tweeted that you just sold something to a fan who approached you for $10? What was it? Sucklord: Just Suckadelic trading cards, a SuckPax. I have my own line of trading cards and I just happened to have something on my personage and I figured I'd sell it to them if they want a piece of it. Lola or Sarah K.? Sucklord: Neither. That was all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. I have a girlfriend who I am really in love with. She wasn't too happy about the way I was behaving on the show and I understand why she feels bad and I feel regretful. But you know, you put me around a bunch of girls and I'm gonna talk s---. It's actually caused damage in my relationship, so I'm picking my girlfriend over everyone else in the world. Have you found a way to make it up to her yet? Sucklord: Still in the process. Having seen some of the outtakes of this episode, it's not too pretty. It was a very penis-happy episode. Michelle seems particularly obsessed. Truth or editing? Sucklord: Uh, you'll have to ask her about the penis thing. I'm a guy, so obviously I have a penis thing. Penises are powerful. They're a big part of the human existence. It seems natural that people are going to be thinking about them and putting them in their art work. The whole house looks like a randy place. Sucklord: Hey, man. Everyone there was pretty outgoing, expressive people. Everybody likes to joke about that kind of stuff. I don't know - it's like that wherever I go, so it didn't seem so unusual to me. What are you working now? Sucklord: I'm going to be mixing Transformers with Occupy Wall Street. I'm working on a China Chow action figure. I'm just sticking to the Suckadelic program, I'm pushing my trading cards, I'm working onmy next Toy Lords of Chinatown video and I'm just trying to build my business. I don't deal with the gallery system, I sell my work directly to my customers. I'm just gonna continue to strengthen that process. Make it easier for people to get it. China gets her own action figure. Safe to say Jerry won't be getting one? Sucklord: Of all the judges there, she seemed to be the only one that had any compassion for the horror and misery we were all suffering. I mean, guys like Jerry and Bill Powers, although they might have said a couple of things to me that might possibly have been relevant, it's all going on in a vacuum for them as far as I can tell. They don't seem to understand, or at least they're not letting it show, any sort of compassion for any of the people on the bottom at all. I think to them it's all just an intellectual exercise and there's very little human component. Jerry, in recapping the episode for Vulture, wrote that he really liked your idea for the ripped-from-the-headlines challenge. But you had a change of heart after Simon came in for his evaluation. Do you regret listening? Sucklord: Simon has been a champion of the Sucklord from the beginning so I was really inclined to listen to him. I don't know if he always necessarily gave me the best advice but I put a lot more value in his advice than anyone else involved in the show. He and Jerry are different people with different tastes, so Simon's telling me what he thinks, he's not necessarily telling me what he thinks Jerry is going to say. At the end of the day, it's my call to decide what to put up there. What I really should have done is say, "F--- it, I'm just going to do what I feel like doing." The fact that I was so willing to just give up on my idea really spoke to the fact that I was just falling apart and didn't know what the hell I was doing at that point.

Andy Samberg, NBC Punished Over 'Saturday Evening Live' Sketch Featuring Beyonce (Video)

NBC Saturday Evening Live is facing accusations it stole material for just two sketches, including an Emmy Award-nominated short featuring Andy Samberg and pop star Beyonce. In the suit filed in NY federal court on Thursday, Aleric Banks (also called "Ron tha Ruler") and Monique Hines say they created the music activity that can make in the first step toward two skits on SNL, including "Shy Ronnie" and "As Being A Boss." The Two litigants certainly are a St. Louis-based production team. With different meeting presented to a close press outlet taken, Banks and Hines stood a mutual mention of the Samberg and published some tracks since the comedian prepared to release his first album just like a part of this rock band The Lonely Island. PHOTOS: 'SNL' Stars Salute Kennedy Center Honoree Will Ferrell Samberg's band recorded the tracks, allegedly while using litigants' copyrighted master tracks "verbatim," and added lyrics. Of a year later, after Lonely Island's album showed up in this area, Samberg reprised a couple of the tunes on SNL.On April 4, 2009, Samberg and actor Seth Rogen completed "As Being A Boss." On December 5, 2009, Samberg and Beyonce completed "Shy Ronnie," a sketch of a bashful music artist which has trouble speaking up if the's his time to eliminate a verse. (See video below.) Initially, Banks and Hines were thrilled within the breakthrough, especially after "Shy Ronnie" was nominated with an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Now, after neglecting to get mentioned credit and compensation, the two have filed a suit proclaiming that the music activity wasn't really original. VIDEO: Charlie Day-Situated 'SNL' Draws Best Ratings in More than per month The litigants condition that just before the release of Samberg's album and skits, a Universal Group subsidiary label sent them a "producer declaration" form. Banks filled it by stating that since the author and producer of "As Being A Boss," he will be a fifty percent who is the owner of the copyright. Banks states he got a solution letter proclaiming he'd became a member of right into a contract with Lonely Island that only entitled him with a 25 percent copyright interest. Nevertheless, Banks states he hasn't received any producer royalties nor any profits from SNL's exploitation of his music.

Aaron Paul Paul, the most exciting choice of the three in my humble opinion, has played troubled youth turned seasoned meth maker Jesse Pinkman to Emmy-winning perfection over the course of "Breaking Bad's" fantastic four-year run (with another year to go). It's high time for Paul to break bad on the big screen, and getting an action-oriented turn alongside Willis in a "Die Hard" movie could be just what the doctor ordered. Ben Foster Another fantastic actor, Foster's already got a Willis collaboration under his belt with his scene-stealing turn in "Hostage." His last attempt at action star status in "Mechanic" didn't quite work out, but Foster's undeniable presence would infuse the "Die Hard" franchise with a wild energy that would be more than welcome from my end. He'd be a great McClane Junior. Liam Hemsworth I have yet to be fully wowed by any of Mr. Hemsworth's performances, but perhaps that'll change when "Hunger Games" hits theaters in March. Still, he strikes me as the least exciting possibility of the three choicesPaul and Foster just bring more, deliberate energies to the table, in my opinion. That said, THR notes that the job is likely Hemsworth's to lose, so it's very possible that Thor's younger brother will be the next McClane.

Clint Eastwood's Brawl Lessons, and Other Revelations from the J. Edgar Press Conference

At the press conference for J. Edgar, which premiered last night at AFI Fest to mixed, often hilarious reviews, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and Naomi Watts joined director Clint Eastwood, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and producer Brian Grazer fielded questions about the very issues that make the biopic seem difficult to make: the ambiguity surrounding both Hoover and his confidants’ personal lives. Movieline culled the best five quotes from the panel, one of which involves 81-year-old Eastwood’s on-set brawling. Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood on bucking Eastwood’s reputation as a “one-take” director: DiCaprio: “At times we did eight or nine or 10 takes on a single day. Clint is very adaptable and has his process, and what he does is expect you to plant your feet and speak the truth like James Cagney says. That’s what we tried our best to do on this movie. He was very understanding about the different time periods we had to shift back and forth between.” Eastwood: “I’ve got this reputation of shooting one take, and it’s a wonderful reputation to have, but it’s hard to live up to. And if you did, it’d be kind of shoddy, I think.” Armie Hammer on Clint Eastwood directing — and demonstrating — his character’s impassioned scuffle with Hoover: Hammer: “There was a moment on set that was one of those things where you don’t smile. It was the fight scene that we had to do in the hotel room. Clint had to show us what he wanted, and that involved his buddy Buddy — Buddy Van Horn, who he’s [worked] with since Rawhide. Eastwood: “Yes. My memory’s a little short, but actually yes, I worked with him when I was a contract player at Universal in 1953.” Hammer: And they basically just had a fight right in front of us. Clint comes sauntering up and says, ‘You know, I was just thinking that this was a very important scene, so I was thinking for the fight you might want to do something LIKE THIS!’ And bam, bam, bam! These two guys just start wailing each other, rolling around the ground. Then Clint gets up at the end, dusts himself off, and says, ‘Something like that.’ Sure. Whatever you say.” Clint Eastwood on rediscovering and exploring a character he’d heard about his entire life: “I had impressions growing up of Hoover as a hero in the ’40s — actually the ’30s, ’40s, ’50s and beyond. This was all prior to the information age, so we didn’t know about Hoover except for what was usually in the papers. This was fun, because it was a chance to go into it. Lance [went off] autobiographical material and biographies from other people, and it was fun to delve into a character you’ve heard about all your life but never really knew, and try to sort that out. We never knew too much about Tolson, Gandy or any of the close confidants. But through researching this movie, that’s what was fun about making the movie. You get to learn something about the people and watch the actors — we’re all just learning history or putting our stamp on history or our interpretation of it. I’m sure a lot of things probably didn’t happen the way they did in this film, but they’re pretty close.” Dustin Lance Black on figuring out the real J. Edgar Hoover: “This was a tough one to research. if you read any of the biographies on J. Edgar Hoover, you find they contradict each other more often than they agree oftentimes. They’re often told from kind of a political perspective; they feel like they have an agenda oftentimes. I guess first, you start identifying where they really disagree. You know there’s where you need to start poking first. For me, that means finding firsthand sources first. There aren’t a whole lot of those, but there are some. They’re mostly people who worked with Hoover in his older years. You start to get an impression of the man, which is important. Then going to Washington D.C. and walking in his footsteps […] seeing that he grew up blocks away from the Capitol building. In his childhood bedroom, you can see the dome just blocks away. That starts to inform things. “At a certain point you’ve read enough people’s biographies who might pass along firsthand accounts, and you start to come to conclusions about who the man was. And for me it was always important to answer that question of ‘Why?’ I know that this is someone who attained a lot of power. And he maintained that power for longer than he probably should have. I was so curious as to why. Most of my questions were always […] to answer that. I thought that’s how we’re going to make this into an emotional story. That’s how maybe we could learn from it — both from the good he did, and the bad he became. […] “It was a creepy feeling at times because I have hard feelings about so much of what he did. I started to empathize with him, and I started to feel for him. You start to question that and worry about that. But I would always stop myself and say, ‘If we want to stop this from happening again, we need to understand this from a human perspective; we need to understand that “why” in order to keep it from happening again.’ That really drove my research.” Naomi Watts on the unverified backstory of her character, Hoover’s secretary Helen Gandy: “Unlike Hoover’s character, there was very little information about Helen Gandy available. All we really knew is she worked with him for 50 years, she was not married, and then she devoted her life to her job. The rest sort of had to be filled in. These were questions of mine when I read the script for the first time — “Why would she do that?” This was not common for women at that time to go into a career saying, “This is all I want.” So she was ahead of her time. That’s an inspiration for all women to see a woman thinking and moving differently than those around her. I liked that it was set up in a way that perhaps she was going to be a love interest, but that just wasn’t who Hoover was [laughs]— wanting to please his mother. [Gandy] wanted that career and just went after it. She loved serving her country and making those sacrifices — and unbelievable loyalty.” [Photo from AFI Fest opening-night red carpet: WireImage]

Lily Tomlin on Robert Altman, David O. Russell and a Lifetime of Achievement

In a career spanning over four decades Lily Tomlin has virtually done it all — but, as she told Movieline this week at the Savannah Film Festival, in town to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, she’s not done yet. After rising to stardom on Laugh-In (where she created indelible characters like Ernestine the telephone operator and Edith Ann, the impossibly precocious 5-year-old), the funny woman won Grammys for her comedy albums, won a Tony for her one-woman Broadway show, earned an Oscar nod making her dramatic debut in Robert Altman’s Nashville, and starred in ’80s comedy classics like 9 to 5 and The Incredible Shrinking Woman. Prior to the ceremony, the legendary comedienne sat down with Movieline to revisit her career, give props to longtime life partner (and creative collaborator) Jane Wagner, remember her work with Robert Altman and the time she and Meryl Streep ad-libbed in his honor at the Oscars, and clarify what really happens when filmmakers and actors clash behind the scenes… and just happen to be filmed doing so. Congratulations on your Lifetime Achievement Award. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much! You’ve had such a varied and fruitful career; how do you feel about all that you’ve accomplished when you look back on it for an honor like this? I forget myself sometimes that I’ve done a lot of different stuff, in different media. It’s just the way it goes! Do you feel like you’ve gotten to do everything you wanted to do? To some degree. There are always things I’d like to do, or little films or things that have happened to me in life that I think would make a great little film. A lot of childhood or teenage stuff. But I work all the time anyway, and I just see it as part of the continuum. I don’t expect to stop anytime very soon. Of course, I don’t really know… Your career took an interesting trajectory that entertainment careers don’t necessarily follow anymore — breaking out in sketch comedy, recording albums, doing comedic and dramatic acting. Did it all progress organically along the way? Yeah, I think organically. A lot of stuff, I had to create an opportunity for myself because I’m just not typical — particularly at that time. Like, I auditioned for Sybil, that thing that Sally [Field] did eventually, many years ago. And I know I had a really good audition, but they would think twice because they thought people would think I was just doing what I do. They’d laugh, maybe. Ah, yes — a woman with many characters inside her already… [Laughs] Right, and they might think I was being funny or something! I’m just thinking of something like that. Not really meaningful, but that was a detriment for me in terms of getting that part. You were very successful in the comedy world and are probably best known for your comedic roles, but you also earned acclaim for your dramatic work. Do you find achieving that level of appreciation in one discipline to be more gratifying than the other? Oh, I think it’s all part of one package, one lump. I always thought I should be able to do both, and any gradation of that. It didn’t occur to me, it took me a while to try to deny that people would want to pigeonhole you, but they do. It’s like anybody sees you, and unless they’re vastly experienced with you, they will think what they’ve seen you do most of the time. They’ll say, “Oh, she’s funny,” or, “She does characters,” and very often people would give me a part that wasn’t even on the paper hoping that I would bring a characterization to it. It doesn’t always work that way. Who, along the way, was most able to see something different in you? Altman, certainly. He never doubted anything. Altman is just that kind of freewheeling… I’ve heard actors say, “Bob, what do you want in this scene?” He’d say, “I don’t know. Why don’t you surprise me?” He was open to anything. He didn’t have any regimented idea of what was going to happen or how you should be, or not. His casting sense was brilliant, so it was half done by who he put in the part. That’s why actors loved it so much.
