We write for actors and even down to the smallest character in the film, they all have their moment.

And he sucks at grammar. So together we're perfect.

I think longer that you sit on a screenplay the longer you sit. I'm a firm believer that you can write the magic out of a movie, out of a screenplay. I'm not saying that the first draft is always the best draft but a lot of times the magic is in the first couple of drafts. T
