In this episode, Emmet talks about nailing auditions, stealing scenes, reinventing characters and humanizing heavies and bad guys. Also, Laurence Oliver gets “the wish,” Henry Fonda rallies the troops, Lauren Bacall reads the riot act and the Coen Brothers pay in cash. PLUS: The Stanton-Walsh rule! J. Carrol Naish! Loving Lee Grant! Deconstructing “Blood Simple”! And Emmet plays “tennis” with Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Harrison Ford! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
