Christopher Nolan said he's only seen the crew applaud an actor on set twice in his career. This first was Heath Ledger as the Joker, the second was Samantha Morton as Circe in THE ODYSSEY.
John Leguizamo on why he thinks Christopher Nolan chose him for Eumaeus in #TheOdyssey:
"I don’t know. I don’t know either! My wife has been saying that lately when we’ve been sitting down at meals. It’s as if, because I’m a Latin man, I always have to play the villain or the aggressor or a perp. So for him to think of me that way, it was fascinating. I didn’t ask him. It wasn’t a question that came to me. At lunch, I didn’t want to like, 'Oh no, you’re making a mistake.' (Laughs) It’s so unusual, but I feel like Eumaeus is more me than a lot of things I’ve been in. Chris sold it to me, as if he had to sell me anything, but he said, 'He’s the most loyal character in Western literature.' Loyalty to me is such a huge, huge virtue for me. If I could be a sociologist, it’s also such a huge part of Latin culture to be loyal to family, loyal to a friend. It’s loyalty above everything else."

Samantha Morton on being directed by Christopher Nolan in #TheOdyssey:
"He was with me, totally with me in those scenes. Oftentimes, even brilliant directors can give you a note and you’re like, 'Really? Oh, okay.' You do it and you go, 'Oh, that didn’t feel right,' but you do it because it’s your job and you hope that you’re making the director happy. But every single note, every single bit of guidance felt completely poignant and relevant and right and made me better. If you’re working with somebody brilliant, it makes you better. If you trust them and let them guide you and let them be brilliant at what they do, we all get better."

This is probably the biggest scandal in World Cup history.
USA striker Folarin Balogun committed this outrageous foul against Bosnia and was shown a straight red card… but here’s where it gets crazy.
The White House publicly contacted FIFA and the tournament organizers, asking them to lift his suspension. And they actually did. Balogun is now eligible to play against Belgium.
The organizers cited something called a “probation period,” meaning the red card still stands, but instead of serving the mandatory suspension, he’ll only be punished if he commits a similar offense again.
A blatant manipulation of the rules for everyone to see, especially considering red-card suspensions are not supposed to be appealable.
When you’re expelled from school, but your dad is the Principal. 😭
