Found this great post at 43 Folders on how to “hack your way out of writer’s block”. At the end is a fantastic story about Laurence Olivier, Dustin Hoffman and another layer of the Antipopper school of acting:
One day on the set of Marathon Man, Dustin Hoffman showed up looking like shit. Totally exhausted and practically delirious. Asked what the problem was, Hoffman said that at this point in the movie, his character will have been awake for 24 hours, so he wanted to make sure that he had been too. Laurence Olivier shook his head and said, “Oh, Dusty, why don’t you just try acting?”
Fucking unreal.
