Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.

More quotes by Peter Jacobson
I guess actors don't like to direct each other.
Peter Jacobson
In terms of what's going to actually happen to me in the story, down towards the end of the season, I'm dying to know, but I just don't ask. If it's something that I think will really affect how I play it and it's information I need to know, than I'll ask, for sure.

I was a greasy short-order cook. I just liked being greasy! That was a real departure for me.

I'm a huge, huge sports fan. A massive sports fan.
Peter Jacobson
I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool.
Peter Jacobson

Peter Jacobson
I couldn't stop to be upset or depressed about anything when I was at Tiger Stadium with Billy Crystal shooting for three weeks. I was going to enjoy every second - even though apparently I didn't.
Peter Jacobson
I love working with Liev [Schreiber]. I've known him for a long time. I just think he is a master. Few actors are so self-possessed and so focused and so confident.
Peter Jacobson
It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.
Peter Jacobson
Everybody else, they're wonderful, but [Robert] Duvall sets the tone for all of cinema acting. So just to be in his space was amazing.
Peter Jacobson
If it's a good role, I'm happy to play it.
Peter Jacobson
Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.
Peter Jacobson
Maybe I'm just lucky I'm not working with any assholes... yet.
Peter Jacobson
Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.
