Stanley Tucci Takes Nothing for Granted

There are a few things Stanley Tucci has learned in his more than 40 years of acting onscreen. He hates waiting around. He tends to overthink his roles. He knows his feelings about his performance matter far less than those of the viewer. “I just want the actor to make me feel something, but a lot of times people think the opposite: ‘I’m supposed to have all feelings so that you can have all these feelings as the audience,’” Tucci says on this week’s Little Gold Men (listen or read below). “I don’t want that. I don’t care what you feel, whether you’re onstage or onscreen. How do you make me feel? That’s the whole point of what we do. It’s not about you.”
