Inside the Actor's Process: Terry Knickerbocker on Coaching Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell

In this interview, I sit down with renowned acting coach Terry Knickerbocker, who has worked with A-list actors like Sam Rockwell and Daniel Craig. We discuss the often-hidden role of an acting coach in the success of major actors, the stigma around it in Hollywood, and how he helps his clients prepare for their performances. From his long-standing partnership with Rockwell to his recent work with Craig on "Knives Out 2" and 3 and his latest film, Luca Guadagnino's "Queer," Knickerbocker provides fascinating insights into the process of bringing characters to life. Here's a bit more of what's in the interview: • Acknowledgment of Acting Coaches (00:05-00:50): Knickerbocker reflects on how actors like Sam Rockwell have begun to publicly acknowledge working with acting coaches, despite a culture that often keeps it secret to avoid appearing weak. • Role of Acting Coaches (00:50-01:57): Acting coaches provide crucial outside guidance, especially in film and TV where rehearsal time is limited, he said. He’s also paid by the actor, not the studio, and becomes a vital part of their preparation process. • Loyalty to Actors (01:57-03:14): He emphasizes loyalty to regular clients like Sam Rockwell, with whom he’s worked for over 35 years, helping in critical moments such as filming "Iron Man 2." • On-Set vs. Pre-Filming Coaching (03:14-03:48): While some coaches work on-set, Knickerbocker prefers working with actors before filming, creating a “blueprint” for their performance. • Collaboration with Daniel Craig (03:48-05:35): Daniel Craig sought his coaching for "Knives Out 2," and “Knives Out 3”, despite already having played the character. Craig didn’t want to repeat himself and sought fresh insights, which led to further collaborations on projects like "Macbeth" and "Queer." • His Coaching Approach (05:35-06:43): His coaching involves breaking down characters and story arcs, focusing on key moments, relationships, and clarity in the script. • Deep Character Exploration (06:43-07:37): For complex roles like Macbeth, Craig wanted to explore deep themes such as the sexual and physical dynamics of the characters, mapping them across scenes for emotional consistency. • Structure of the Sessions (07:37-09:50): Knickerbocker works with actors over extended periods, typically 1.5-2 hours per session. For larger projects, they revisit specific parts of the script, working on speeches or complicated scenes in detail. • Tailored Coaching for TV vs. Film (09:50-11:45): TV coaching, like with Emmy Rossum in "Shameless," operates at a faster pace than film coaching. While films allow deeper, detailed scene breakdowns, TV focuses on roughing out scenes quickly. • Flexible Coaching Styles (11:45-17:26): He adapts his coaching to suit the actor’s background, whether it's a method-trained actor like Sam Rockwell or an actor with no formal training like Natasha Lyonne, ensuring the process works for their individual needs.
