...made an art form of saving money with style--making industrial-quality fixtures look fashionable. He never skimps on attitude, though--ask anyone who has been chided for trying to move the carefully arranged pool chairs at Los Angeles' Mondrian. Schrager stages casting calls and hires aspiring actor-models to play the help; the snooty service can be unimpressive to customers who lack agents...
...like The Killer and Hard Boiled in their native home of Hong Kong. He has not, to date, had much success in acting in English, hence the middling success of his recent forays into the North American market.

So, the casting of Chow Yun Fat is an intriguing choice...
...Well, Mark's a real thug. You know that, right? He had these people coming over, with names like Donkey, asking if they could take the VCR from his trailer and sell it. Mark's a funny guy.

Beatty's liberal siphon could be as strong as Buchanan's conservative one, but only if he too jumps to the Reform party, which he doesn't sound...
Taking risks focuses the mind. Such activities are bracing, to say the least, whether you are a BASE jumper, a surgeon performing a quadruple-bypass operation or an actor executing a sword fight onstage while spouting Shakespeare.
