Jim herzfeld biography

Previous 1. Drexell's Class 6. Personal details Edit. Alternative name James Herzfeld. Did you know Edit. Quotes It's a great arrangement for any screenwriter to be associated with an actor who trusts you. Every screenwriter wishes he had an A-list actor who considers him 'his guy' and kept him steadily employed on the actor's projects.

And that's what ultimately drew Mr. De Niro to the role. By the way, the polygraph scene was pitched to me by Mr. De Niro, so he clearly tapped into the character from the beginning.

As for the rest of the cast, once we got De Niro onboard, Stiller couldn't say no and we were off to the races. How do you feel about the final product? Was it pretty much how you imagined it should be? MTP turned out great, and the credit goes to Jay Roach. Not only did he trust and protect my script, he found and created a lot of comedy "between the lines".

There are only a couple of scenes I wish were different-- Jay wanted to shoot the opening I originally wrote a proposal scene gone awry at Wrigley Field during a Cubs game , but it was too expensive. So they took the basic idea of that scene and re-did it as a proposal scene gone awry outside a children's school. And I don't love the opening scene with the patient and the catheter, but other than that I think the film is fantastic, and I can't imagine a screenwriter being any happier with a film unless he directs it himself.

I don't read many great scripts I mostly read lousy ones that need rewrites , so I guess I'd have to talk about what movies inspired me. But as I said, I wrote this four years ago and hadn't even heard of MARY so any similarities tonally, or otherwise, are purely coincidental.
