Tribute to Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci and Friends At MoMI

On Wednesday night at the Times Center, the Museum of the Moving Image checked in from its hiatus (its theater is currently in the midst of a major expansion) in order to host an informal tribute to actor Stanley Tucci. Featuring Tucci's friends Steve Buscemi, Hope Davis, Natasha Richardson and (randomly) chef Mario Batali, the tribute became something of a discussion of the life of beloved, moderately successful indie film actors.

"I'm still waiting to feel like I'll be a success as an actor," says Tucci. "I'm not kidding. When I finish a job, I always imagine that it is going to take a long time to get another job."

Buscemi backed him up, saying, ""I get paranoid when I imagine casting sessions, where if my name comes up, the director says 'Yeah, he's OK... who else?', 'yeah, we've seen him, but...who else?" That's the biggest fear I have, and I don't think it's paranoia, I think it's happening."

Tucci and Buscemi have recently started their own production company, Olive Productions, with the idea of funding small-to-mid budget films, particularly their own.

"You get frustrated that you aren't working consistently," explained Tucci. "The only thing you can do is to generate your own work. I think we all do it."

"I don't," chimed in Davis. "I sit at home and wait for the phone to ring... I prefer not to work. I have small children and I like to be at home."

Tucci further expressed concern about the perception of actors in Hollywood. "There's a tremendous amount of pressure actors when a movie bombs. That's my favorite. You know, there are a lot of other people involved."

Davis, was also wary about the danger of success. "Because there are so many people attached to all of us now, you're constantly being pressure to be out there working, making money for them. I feel like I'm always being pressured to take the next job."

The Museum of the Moving Image will continue to hold periodic programs at the Times Center.
