...most focused and determined actors I have ever seen. You wanna talk about laser beam focus & dogged persistence... that man has got it. On the set of Cocktail, there was a scene that just wasn't quite going the way the director wanted. Tom bit into it take after take after take, ...and he just wouldn't give up or let it go. Not even the audible groans of the entire cast & crew & extras phased his concentration. If it did, he certainly didn't let it show. He was determined to nail that small sequence. Finally, over Tom's objections, the director insisted on moving on, and coming back to that scene about 6 hrs later. When we did come back to the scene, ...the intensity with which Tom tore into it would have blown your mind. It's the kind of tenacious dogged disciplined determination that moves mountains. Oh ya, ...and he nailed the scene.
