“I think in all of [Payne’s] movies, he’s looking
for real people and not wanting [them] to seem
like an actor or a celebrity, which I think is why
he really liked me. He had a look in his mind [for

Hollywood’s new golden boy. Covering our Spring

Paul Giamatti, his unsual casting process and
planning his next move.
