Marie Brenner, the Vanity Fair writer whose article inspired The Insider, was astonished to see Wigand on the set one day. It was Crowe, of course. "I saw Wigand for two months in 1996, when he was shattered, frightened, in his darkest time," she recalls. "Yet this actor, after a day of golf, was able to intuit his throttled energy, his tension." Hollywood is equally impressed by the actor. Ridley Scott cast Crowe as the lead in next spring's Gladiator...
