When we sit down at a Manhattan bar, Zach Braff tells the waitress that we'll have two beers. This I didn't know about. On our way out, he gives a smooth Jersey nod to a table of college-age women. His laugh is so loud, explosive and startlingly self-assured that it's normally heard only from aliens pretending to be human. Braff exudes more confidence than Donald Rumsfeld...
...What's the character's favorite color?" she says of her attempts at technique. "But I don't see how that helps so much." She has also tried listening to loops of Jeff Buckley and Nirvana to get into the right frame of mind to play an alcoholic Vermont waitress, opposite Adrien Brody, in the recently completed independent film The Jacket.

While the rotation of the table, and hence, the position of the characters was an innovative solution to a challenging staging problem, it proved to be too much to stomach at once...
...Lootz (William H. Macy) is particularly good at the job—so good in fact, that he need only brush up against someone to cut short a winning streak. But as luck would have it, days before he is about to retire, he meets Natalie (Maria Bello), a waitress drawn in by his pitiable existence. The encounter quickly progresses and soon Natalie is firmly clutching a nude Bernie’s genitalia in one of the year’s more unsettling images. The ensuing relationship transforms the gloomiest cooler in town into an exuberant lucky charm. Imbuing...
