Judge Laurence Silberman explains the origins of his ruling against the ban on handguns in Washington, D. C. He explains, 'It wasn't a right to bear arms granted by the Constitution, it was a right that was protected by the Constitution. '
I consider Laurence [Fishburn], Keanu [Reeves], both very acclaimed actors, I mean so good.
I spent a lot of time with both [Laurence Fishburn and Keanu Reeves], obviously, on the Matrix trilogy. Worked a lot, on a day-to-day level, with Laurence Fishburne. And then we'd bumped into each other through the film community for years and years.
When I first met Laurence I was Keanu's [Reeves] stunt double on the first Matrix. So, a little evolution there with career status. But then cut to the thirteenfourteen years later where now I'm asking Laurence Fishburne to trust my directorial capacity [in John Wick 2].
I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.
If there be one man, more than another, who deserves to succeed in flying through the air, that man is Mr. Laurence Hargrave, of Sydney, New South Wales.
Laurence [Fishburn] helped redo some of the dialogue [in John Wick 2], he and Keanu [Reeves] workshopped it. And he couldn't have been more respectful couldn't have been more brilliant on set. I said, "look, I'm gonna have to work you a little bit here cause I only get you for three days. " He never left set, was always engaging, always working on his lines, it was awesome.
I always loved how people like Jon Voight and Laurence Olivier shocked you every time they came on-screen. They were so different each time. That's what I hope to do with acting - be the chameleon and not get stuck in a type.
