Quotable Quotes:

"[when asked for suggestions on how to judge acting] I have three tests. First, which dominates, the character or the actor? With very few exceptions it should be the character. Second, on film - as opposed to stage - we're pretty much playing basic emotions: love, anger, fear, pity. So the trick is whether you can come up with any fresh choices to present these common emotions. Third - and this is the quality that separates the great ones from the good ones - I look for a "joy of performing" quality. Who had that quality? As much as anyone, Jimmy Cagney [James Cagney]." (IMDB)

"George Scott will always be remembered for his remarkable life, filled with determination, passion, and hard work, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations. (V)"
