"If you want to attract an audience, you could go down to a street corner, do a striptease and get naked. You would probably attract a crowd in a hurry. The problem is, how do you keep people?"

My favourite actor

John Cazale. There's so much to tell about this actor that finally I decided don't say anything. Ok, I admit that I don't feel I can properly explain why I like him so much and why it's important to know which role he played in the history of the American cinema. I mean, I don't feel I can do all these things in English. Because, he was not like Al Pacino, who is fantastic and for whom you can use a lot of superlative adjectives; both are big but while Al Pacino is big in playing extreme roles, John Cazale was big in playing middle roles, most of all the mediocre. So, he had to stay halfway between the role of the very bad and the role of the very nice, the negative and the positive. He stayed between eroic people, finding himself in the grey zone: not an angel not an evil. He had to stop before crossing the borders, moving himself between two lines, in the dichotomous perception that we have of life. (I have).
I find Cazale interesting because of his middle position that makes it difficult to define or categorize his roles.
He leaves me without words. And because I like very much the silence, therefore I like him because he made me silent.
