Laurence [Fishburne] is a great example of how to communicate to the audience as you're acting with another actor.
Laurence [Fishburn] helped redo some of the dialogue [in John Wick 2], he and Keanu [Reeves] workshopped it. And he couldn't have been more respectful couldn't have been more brilliant on set. I said, "look, I'm gonna have to work you a little bit here cause I only get you for three days. " He never left set, was always engaging, always working on his lines, it was awesome.
