It was the script though. He had about ten lines in 2 hours
I know but in character he was actually very menacing. Unlike Michael Caine he seemed to hold the character throughout the working day/night and only became chatty over drinks when the day's work was done. Caine, on the other hand, simply took the piss the whole time and "switched" into his character as he walked onto the set. Very impressive to watch. I did ask Caine how he did it. He said he didn't know and didn't want to know ... it just happened ~ he then said "like this" and he changed completely into a quiet, threatening person whose eyes seemed to see right through you. Like the character he played in "Get Carter". One minute he was lounging on a settee in a trailer with a cup of tea/rum in his hand the next he was "Carter" standing over me and I near shat myself.
Not really willy waving Wenchy ..... I was very lucky to have been working in the right place at the right time and saw these things going on. Sorry if it's a bore ..... I thought some might like to share the experience ..... I'll shut up then.
