Jason Schwartzman

Jason Schwartzman fascinates me because he wears one of Hollywood's heaviest surnames so lightly. Born into the Coppola family, he could have coasted on lineage; instead he carved out a niche entirely his own, playing the verbose, slightly ridiculous, secretly wounded men who anchor Wes Anderson's meticulous worlds. His musician's instincts show in his acting too: precise timing, melodic line readings, a drummer's ear for the rhythm of dialogue. Few performers manage to be this mannered and this sincere at the same time. He is not a movie star in the conventional sense, and that is precisely why directors keep building strange, delicate films around him.
