about him
«C'era una scena nel Cavaliere Oscuro - Il Ritorno in cui Michael doveva commuoversi. E' stata struggente, quasi dolorosa da guardare. E' arrivato sul set e ciak uno: buona. Ciak due: ottima. Ciak 3: perfetta. E' stato come assistere ad una esemplare dimostrazione di recitazione. Ricordo di aver detto a Christian: "Ecco come diavolo si fa"».(Gary Oldman.)
