John Cazale was very weak with lung cancer when filming began, and for this reason, all of his scenes were filmed first. Michael Cimino knew from the start that Cazale was dying from cancer, but the studio did not. When they found out, they wanted to replace Cazale. When Meryl Streep learned of their intentions, she threatened to quit if they did. Cazale died in March 1978 shortly after filming was completed. Robert De Niro was so anxious about the film's controversy that he did not attend the Oscars ceremony. He asked the Academy if he could sit out the show backstage, but when the Academy refused, De Niro stayed home in New York City. The Deer Hunter (1978).

The Deer Hunter went beyond method: • De Niro demanded a real bullet in the revolver during Russian roulette scenes. • Cimino told the guard to slap Walken without warning—his shock is real. 1970s cinema was insane.

In The Deer Hunter (1978), Michael Cimino urged Christopher Walken to spit in Robert De Niro’s face. Walken actually did it. De Niro’s stunned reaction is real and he was reportedly walked off set. Cimino later said of Walken, “He’s got courage.”

In this scene of The Deer Hunter real bullets were actually loaded into the revolver’s cylinder but never in the firing chamber. Director Michael Cimino wanted the actors to have the terrifying awareness that something could go wrong.

Today is John Cazale’s birthday. Every last individual on this website should know Cazale by name & should be familiar with his work. We lost Cazale at only 42. But in those 42 years, Cazale made magic: The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter. It was a run for the ages. I absolutely adore Cazale & I’m thankful for the work he left us. 🎂

Possibly the greatest movie actor of all time who died relatively young. Godfather actor John Cazale who played Fredo would have been 90 years old today. I regard the performance from Cazale, in this scene, as the highest peak you can reach in acting. This level of acting has certainly been matched but, in my opinion, never bettered. His voice, his mannerisms, timing and the look in his eyes. It’s perfect. You could almost believe that Fredo was a real person that jumped into the body of John Cazale. A work of genius. Happy birthday in the stars 💐

Christian Bale was so unrecognizable in American Hustle that Robert De Niro didn’t know who he was. De Niro pulled the director aside, pointed at Bale, and asked who it was. After being convinced, he simply said, “Wow, he looks really different.”

This eerie 10-minute sequence in "Cape Fear" (1991), where Robert De Niro's 'Max Cady' tricks Juliette Lewis' 'Danielle' into meeting with him at the high school is what convinced Martin Scorsese to do the movie. He considers it "the crux" of the entire film and said, “It was the scene that made me make the movie. I realized if I can pull off that scene, with the actors and the writer, it'd be great." De Niro explained that he wanted Max Cady to have the ability perform Charles Manson-like “mind trips” on his victims. So, he felt the necessity to have this scene. Lewis said, "When [the scene] was over, it was like I had to come down. I just went straight to [De Niro] and said, 'God, that was fun.'” The sequence became one of the film's most talked-about moments and helped Lewis nab an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. When Spielberg and De Niro were trying to convince Scorsese to direct the picture over dinner, he rejected it as he "didn't want to get involved in remakes. It's a really difficult thing to do, especially if [the original film] is a good picture.” To convince him somehow, Spielberg said to him, "Listen, if you don't like the script, you can rewrite it." Scorsese, who was suffering from fatigue after post-production work on "Goodfellas" (1990) jokingly said that he had forgotten about that part (Screenwriting) of the process. Martin Scorsese said high-energy chase sequences like this weren’t in his filmmaking wheelhouse, and he praised Spielberg for doing scenes like that “so beautifully,” while claiming his approach would have “become a cliche. I couldn't even bring myself to think about doing that sort of thing.” There wasn't any preparation for the scene. It was done in one take. About filming the scene, Scorsese said, "We froze and it was like magic." ("'Cape Fear' at 30: Why Martin Scorsese Needed Convincing to Direct Iconic Thriller (Flashback)", Joe Bergren, ET, 2021)

De Niro refused any rehearsals for the sequence, wanting the raw tension between the two characters to feel absolutely authentic and unrehearsed.

Martin Brest on why he cast Robert De Niro & Charles Grodin in 'Midnight Run' (1988): "Interviewer: The chemistry between Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin in “Midnight Run” is just all-time for me. How difficult was it to find the right two people for those roles? Martin Brest: Dealing with someone you would consider a very intense, dramatic actor, to me, is a great opportunity to find humorful moments. The idea of De Niro in this role, it wasn’t really conceived for somebody like that. But Jack Rapke, my agent at the time, said, “What about De Niro?” and I thought, “If I could work with Robert De Niro, I’ll figure out the rest later on.” If you’re thinking about comedy with a capital K, you wouldn’t think of him. But again, the way I approach humorful situations, I saw him as being a perfect actor. But once we had cast him, it was really hard to find somebody to complement him, and everybody wanted to play the part. It was a role that we needed people to read for it because it was really a question of micro-chemistry. Charles Grodin came in, and I remembered a scene in “Heaven Can Wait” where he just turned to another character, it was a deadpan reaction that knocked me off my chair. I remember thinking at the time, “He’s doing nothing. Why is that so genius and funny?” When he read with De Niro, everybody was intimidated by De Niro — and Grodin wasn’t at all."

One of Michael Mann’s favorite Robert De Niro moments in Heat, comes right after he confronts Ashley Judd’s character and tells her, “Clean up, go home.” "There's a brilliant Robert De Niro moment here in the way he repeats “clean up, go home”. That is pure De Niro. It is genius. It is the genius of Robert De Niro. And you can't analyze why it's there, how it's there, how it's expressed. It's spontaneous and it's truly in character. And It's from the small moments that you see that just explode out of an actor sometimes, that to me, they demark genius. And you know it when you see it - and that's one of them." Quote is from Michael Mann’s director’s commentary on the Heat DVD

🚨ELON MUSK AND JOE ROGAN TALK ABOUT JOHN MCAFEE: ELON: "McAfee had a lab and he was making a wide range of drugs. I talked to a reporter who went down and interviewed him in Belize. He was quite terrified. One of the things that McAfee did was that he played Russian Roulette with himself. Clearly he had some way of knowing where the bullet was, it was a trick, but I think if he was high he may not have been able to execute the trick. He did this to this reporter. He put a bullet in the gun and spun the revolver and pulled the trigger and it went click click click and he pointed it at the ground and BANG -- he shot a bullet in the ground. That's a hell of a party trick. ROGAN: "That's a dude who has seen The Deer Hunter too many times. Didn't he give the government a bunch of laptops with viruses on them? I wouldn't be surprised if Government whacked that guy. That would be a guy that Government would say 'This guy is too loose.'" 😂

Before James Toback's screenplay for "The Gambler" (1974) was accepted by the studio, he had met Robert De Niro on the suggestion of his friend, Lucy Saroyan who said that "De Niro was a genius & the only actor on earth who was going to be as great as Marlon Brando". Immediately, Toback set up a meeting with him & both of their visions matched the character. De Niro started to become the character after reading the script in real life by dressing and having the same haircut. He started to mimic most of the writer's characteristics. After Karel Reisz agreed to direct the movie, Toback made changes to the screenplay, which he said made it a "Widely expanded and deepened movie". Reisz interviewed Richard Dreyfus and Chris Sarandon and others for the lead role, but inexplicably resisted meeting De Niro. Finally, he agreed to meet De Niro after relentless pressure but insisted that Toback should not come for the dinner meet. Toback spoke to De Niro, who told Toback to call him after speaking with Reisz after the meeting. Reisz called Toback and firmly said, “Jim, I want to make your movie. And I want you — I need you — to be with me every day until the end. In fact, I can’t make this movie without you. But if you are going to insist on my using De Niro I will not make the movie.” Toback, who was stunned, replied, “He’s the guy! How can you not see that?” Reisz said, "I’m sorry. I won’t discuss it. He’s simply wrong for the part. He has the wrong temperament." While Toback kept on pressuring, Reisz harshly said, "If you continue trying to persuade me, I’ll have to resign from the movie tomorrow. We can talk about anything else. I will not talk about him." Toback told De Niro what had occurred. An agitated De Niro replied, "Jim, the guy didn’t even let me read. You’ve gotta get him to let me read.” De Niro kept pressuring Toback and asked him to insist that he the movie won't work well without De Niro & to inform Reisz that Toback won't work on the movie if De Niro isn't allowed to read for the part. He felt that Reisz was just bluffing about quitting the movie. Finally, De Niro said, "I’ll tell you something else. The changes you made are all wrong. He got you to turn a great script into something not nearly as good."

In Goodfellas, when Joes Pesci's character Tommy shoots Spider, some of the actors wore earplugs to protect themselves from the gunfire. But Pesci refused - he wanted to hear the full blast of the gun, to immerse himself in the moment. He explains... “It was very hard for me to get as close to killing someone as possible in that scene, because it wasn't a contract killing, and it wasn't somebody that had to be…(it was) a kid. And some of the actors, even Bob (Robert De Niro) - they put earplugs in. But I wanted this feeling, this deafening feeling - I wanted to feel that gun ride and feel like it. And the kid that played Spider (Michael Imperioli) threw himself back so violently at the first shot that he went flying against the bar and cut his hand. They had to take him to the hospital. He cut it on a pitcher that fell. I think everybody in that room, including me, felt like I killed that kid.” Quote comes from the commentary track off the Goodfellas Blu-ray

On Goodfellas, Robert De Niro insisted that all the money he handled on set be real. Whenever he was on camera, he carried $5,000 in real cash in his pocket. As he put it, “That’s kind of a classic mob guy thing. They carry cash rolled up instead of in a wallet.” Property master Robert Griffon Jr. had to withdraw thousands from his own bank account to replace the prop money, so all the $20s and $50s De Niro passes around in the film are real. The problem was that the production had also hired real mobsters as extras, so whenever real money was used, after Scorsese yelled “cut”, the whole crew had to freeze while every single bill was counted.

While filming Splash (1984), John Candy once arrived late to the set and delayed filming, which was unusual for the actor, who was known for being professional. According to Ron Howard, Candy profusely apologized when he arrived, and Howard told him it was fine and that they would begin shooting. Candy then revealed that he had not slept and was actually drunk. The night before, he had gone to a bar where he encountered Jack Nicholson, who recognized him and proceeded to buy him drinks throughout the night. Candy had told Nicholson, "But I've got to go shoot." Nicholson simply replied, "You're going to be all right, kid. Don't worry about it." Candy then went on to film his scene on the racquetball court, where he was hit by the ball, and managed to get it right in just three takes.
