I did a spot with Tom Hanks for the World War II Veteran’s Memorial. It helped raise enough money to complete the project. We shot on a beach that was supposed to suggest Normandy. The only suggestion I gave him was to walk along and do the dialogue instead of just standing there.
‘You want me to walk?’
‘Yeah.’
‘…and you want me to talk?’
‘Yeah.’
‘Walk and talk, I can do that.’
And he did. He was good, too.
