| This film made me an
Anthony Hopkins fan. I had seen him in films before this one
but Magic made me take notice. Corky was such a
complex character and I really cared about what happened to him.
When Mr. Hopkins was overlooked for
an Academy Award nomination for this film, I wrote him a letter
and received a reply. One line of the letter says:
"If I conveyed the intensity of the character to you, then my
job has been well done and worth more than any
award..." He always conveys the intensity of his
characters and was presented with the Academy Award for his
performance of Hannibal Lecter in Silence
of the Lambs. |
