''Lives of Others'' director remembers his star
The Lives of Otherswas your first film. He interviewed me for several hours to see if I was up to directing my own script! How much I knew about all the details of the GDR [German Democratic Republic]. I said to him, I dont think you act it at all. And then he said, Okay, Ill do it. Were going to make this work. That really gave me a lot of faith....
