We concluded our @beyondfest William Petersen Tribute with a sold out screening of Michael Mann’s MANHUNTER (1986) last Saturday at the Egyptian 🙏
Thank you to everyone who joined us + to Katie Walsh for moderating!
“You have to be brave. You have to try harder than you think you should sometimes.”
William Petersen shared the acting advice he received from filmmaker William Friedkin during our @beyondfest TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) Q&A.
Amazing day yesterday at @BeyondFest. Saw Big Trouble in Little China with the great John Carpenter and Dean Cundey. Then watched Manhunter with the amazing William Peterson after. Thanks @am_cinematheque and @EgyptianLA as well.
Still reeling from yesterday’s Q&As with the legendary William Petersen for @beyondfest’s screenings of TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. and MANHUNTER.
The best advice he ever got from Friedkin: “You have to be brave. You have to try harder than you think you should.”

At the screening of To Live and Die in LA today at Beyond Fest, William Petersen said that William Friedkin let him choose what kind of car the character drove. I asked how he chose the pickup truck that's in the movie. Found out we are both from Boise!
had an amazing time listening to William Petersen talk about his working on To Live and Die L.A. he’s an amazing actor and I loved his energy and his delivery on little anecdotes while working with Friedkin! The audience for this movie was electric! Thank you @am_cinematheque!!
It’s William Petersen Day at @beyondfest ❤️🔥
“I learned a lot from Mr. Friedkin. And I miss him a lot.”
A sold out screening of TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) to start things off.
