Robert Downey, Jr.
There is unpanned gold in every soul you run into, no matter what walk of life they are from.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I think the goal is to make a well written scene seem like it's improvised and/or to come up with things that you find in the room that you couldn't have known until you get into the real situation, just try to improve things as you go along.

I did Air America for two reasons: to be in a movie with Mel Gibson and to make a bunch of money.
