Woody Harrelson Names the Best Director He Has Worked With
Woody Harrelson is a true character both on and off screen, with a life as vibrant and unpredictable as the eclectic roles he plays. In the late 1980s, few would have predicted that the young Texan actor known for playing Woody Boyd on Cheers would evolve into one of the most respected actors of his generation.
Harrelson has proven himself a versatile and chameleonic performer, able to physically and emotionally transform to portray villains, heroes, and a historical figure he described as someone who "just says exactly what he’s feeling at any moment."
Throughout his career, Harrelson has worked with many renowned directors, including Martin McDonagh, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Terrence Malick, and Barry Levinson. Despite this impressive roster, he revealed in an interview with The AV Club that his greatest admiration is reserved for Israeli-American filmmaker Oren Moverman.
“The way Oren works is, he’ll give you great words to say, he’ll give you all the tools, great direction, help you with the backstory and get you into the character, set you up in a space, and give you no rehearsal,” Harrelson explained. “You don’t even hang out with the actor ahead of time.”
Harrelson values Moverman’s unique approach, which empowers actors to dive into their roles with preparation but without prior rehearsal, fostering spontaneity and authenticity.
Summary
Woody Harrelson praises Oren Moverman as the best director he's worked with, highlighting his supportive yet rehearsal-free directing style that enhances authentic performances.
