Jack Lemmon has serious advice for actors and writers. His comments on David Mamet in particular are fascinating: every eh, uh and um in his movie is designed, not ad-libbed. Jack Lemmon says it's up to the actor to find the rhythym and make it look natural.
Jack Lemmon seems to hold playwrights in awe. He says playwrights are a sponge, they sop you up as a character. He gives an example of natural dialogue which you would generally never seen written in a book.
