Paul Giamatti

Friday, July 31, 2009

With "American Splendor" and "Sideways," Paul Giamatti perfected the role of the cranky, frustrated failure. In his new film "Cold Souls" he stars as an actor named Paul Giamatti who gets his soul removed to find relief from his oppressive emotions. He tells Kurt that acting is kind of like borrowing another person's soul: "A lot of the time I get degraded, desiccated souls."

I really appreciate Paul Giamatti's job! And Mr. Giamatti: Miles's not cranky, he's cute and unhappy, unsatisfeid and frustrated, yes. But what a pitty! Because I became more fan of you after I fell in love with your so delicate Miles! One of my favorite movies and characters of all! Congratulations!I'd love to see you on Broadway, live, in a drama.
And in the interview has been mentioned that the role had been written to Woody Allen. I wanna see Giamatti in more Mr. Allen's films, with a more extended role, I love them! Boys from my heart!
Best wishes!

I love the actors work; the interviewer ruined it for me. He lead a babbling dialogue of nervousness, rather then allowing the actor speak and answer the questions. It seemed to me that the interviewer wanted to answer his own questions.

too bad.
