It was a real treat and a pleasure to get to talk to living legend Alan Arkin. I told a number of people that I was going to talk to the Oscar nominated improv guru and they said either You got to ask him about Glengarry Glen Ross. I was like Fuck that Im going to talk to him about Bad Medicine! But of course I was also very interested in talking with Arkin about his latest role, that of the heroin snorting grandfather of the dysfunctional family in Little Miss Sunshine. The film also stars Steve...
I loved 'the slums of beverly hills'. I thought the name was a joke but then I saw the places you guys were moving too...it's true...they we're pretty bad!
Also it was so cool because I'm watching Marissa Tomei go to nursing school and low and behold the 'nursing school' is the library that is literally 2 blocks from my house! I love when that happens.
