I did not expect to find somebody in Los Angeles. The last thing I wanted to do was to have some kid who's from a movie family. They've got good genes. I guess that's what I responded to. His personality was much stronger than most of the people in there.
Some people can just be real when they're doing a scene.
I was always thinking of someone different, but when he came in then I started thinking in more like a Dustin Hoffman kind of way, which wasn't what I originally pictured. Schwartzman was not pale and not skinny. He's not like anyone else who had come in. And I just knew I would get along with him. Bill Murray delivered an excellent performance as well.
