Anthony James: Acting His Face

Anthony James: Acting His Face (2015)

**** (out of 4)

This here is an excellent featurette, which has character actor Anthony James discussing his career including his work on films like IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, BURNT OFFERINGS and UNFORGIVEN. This 17-minute interview is a bonus feature on the BURNT OFFERINGS release so that film gets a lot of talk and we get a terrific story about how Betty Davis helped James. We also get some great stories about being on the set of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and a lot of the stories here center around his mother, which leads to a good and touching story dealing with him memoir. If you're a fan of James then you'll certainly want to check out this interview as he's certainly a great storyteller and we get some great bits of information on the films I mentioned. The story with Eastwood and UNFORGIVEN was great but then again so was pretty much every other story told here.
