Al Pacino is so good at his craft, you can blink and miss it.
Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan recalled a time when Pacino turned down a note from the director, insisting that he’d “already done that.”
The film was 2002 thriller Insomnia with Pacino.
“I had gone up to Pacino after a series of takes and given him a note on what I wanted,” Nolan told The Los Angeles Times.
“He told me, ‘I’ve already done that. You can’t see it to the eye, but I’ve done it on the dailies.’ I looked for it and I was like, ‘Oh, my God,’ because there it was.”
Nolan added: “Great film actors can do that.”
