the a.r.w. recommends: Screen Test

The New York Times has been interviewing actors and posting these videos on The Moment. Screen Test is a series of black and white shorts — We never see or hear the interviewer, just the answers to their questions. Thus far, Screen Test interviews include Peter Sarsgaard, James Franco, Tyra Banks, Seth Rogen, Matthew Goode, Anna Faris and Will Ferrel. Each is uniquely entertaining: Goode sips from a glass of wine while laughing and discussing his experience with Woody Allen (Match Point), Rogen talks about his upcoming “Stoner Flick,” and Tyra Banks displays an array of “smiling techniques.” My personal favorite is the Matthew Goode interview, but I’m fairly certain it’s simply because he’s drinking a glass of wine.

Editorial Addendum: Latest Screen Tests feature Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Penelope Cruz. In addition, I somehow missed an older Screen Test with Elizabeth Banks.
