wanna underline that it was Billy Zane doing the looking out for his co-star. James Cameron very famously directed Kate Winslet in a way that left her covered in bruises and gave her double pneumonia.
and good for him. he was a pretty big star at the time, Kate was almost an unknown, and James Cameron was, yanno, himself. so for Billy to stick up for her and respect her like that was very based and sexy.
I also want to point out his mention of the consultation with wardrobe.
When shitfuck actors and directors let their misogyny and racism convince them to do "improv" or "method" that inevitably is neither impov nor method but very much harmful to their coworkers, it's not just other actors who get hurt.
Everyone working on that set ends up in the shit.
He showed basic human dignity to his costar, as well as the people on wardrobe, the people handling props, the people behind the cameras that the glasses were flying towards.
Film is a collaboration, and the vast majority of the people who make the magic happen will never be seen, heard or known.
So it's really fucking spectacular to see Mr Zane acknowledge the humanity of his coworkers and the collaborative nature of the art they made together.
