Frank Langella

There's a certain secret every actor must have in his work. If you reveal it, you're letting the audience in on the wrinkles and convolutions of your brain. All I want them to do is to see the effect.
Frank Langella
I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.
Frank Langella

Frank Langella
