I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I`ve worked with. And I`ve worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.
I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I`m surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are.
Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it`s on a weekly critical basis or whether it`s award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work.
A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it`s in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it.
