Nic nos confiesa su método de actuación:
LA SINCRONIZACIÓN ARTÍSTICA DEL TROBADOR.
“I had made a decision a long time ago that I wasn’t only going to explore naturalistic acting. I would do that sometimes – like I did in ‘Joe’ – but I also wanted to look at some of my other inspirations. I believed in art synchronicity, that what you can do in one art form, you can do in another.
So if I wanted to be abstract, like imitating Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream,’ as I did in ‘Ghost Rider,’ I could do that. If I wanted to be more operatic or Western kabuki, I could do it. And I’m not the first.
Look at James Cagney in ‘White Heat,’ when he says ‘Top of the world, ma!’ Was that realistic? Hell no. Was it exciting and truthful? Hell yeah. Or Richard Burton in ‘Night of the Iguana,’ or Bruce Lee in ‘Enter the Dragon.’ The list goes on and on about these old troubadours who embraced a kind of charismatic and larger-than-size stylization. A grandeur, if you will.
I have to be honest. I did make certain choices to realize my abstract and more ontological fantasies with film performance, by playing people who were crazy, or by playing people who were on drugs, or supernaturally possessed – so that I have the license, if you will, to explore the German Expressionistic style of acting, or the Western kabuki. Whatever you want to call it.”
