Oddly Peaceful

Great auditions today for the role of Alan Turing. Yes, I'm doing a scene from Cryptonomicon. Great lessons whenever I work with actors, they keep me on my toes and get me thinking about interesting things. I had this debate with an actor over the tone in one line and it got me to re-think the entire scene...over "That's the spirit!"

He took it sarcastically, and I took it as genuine. I've already got four to five different ways the scene can be played, between Turing and Waterhouse, brotherly, confrontational/jealous, sexual angst, colleauges...the iterations are amazing.
