Paul talks about playing John Adams, why he was a bad President, having a lazy eye in The Holdovers, being nominated for an Oscar, attending the nominees luncheon and ruining the group photo for the writer standing next to him, living in Seattle after college, auditioning for America’s Most Wanted, going to In-N-Out after winning at the Golden Globes, and why New Haven pizza is the best.

I love Paul Giamatti. He usually acts in these 'slightly off' movies, in these 'slightly off' roles, & he does such a wonderful job. He is so believable in all his roles. It doesn't matter if his parts are big (Duets, Barney's Version, Sideways) or small (My Best Friend's Wedding), he just makes the movie shine.

Agreed... to your point, like the movie Sideways and Lady in the Water. Excellent movies.

John Adams was a series that Paul and Laura Linne as Abigail Adam’s breathed life into one of Founding Fathers and the 2nd President of our country. David Morse was a convincing George Washington. It gives great insight at the risk the Founding Fathers were put in and how they argued over writing the Constitution. Paul won a Golden Globe award Screen Actors Guild and Emmy in Lead Actor Categories for this one role. He was that good.

Isn't life itself slightly off? That's why his roles work so well.

Paul Giamatti's acting just seems effortless. I mean, it doesnt really look like he is putting much effort into it but comes across as an amazing performance. Whenever I watch him I get the feeling that is what he is really like. Even though he is acting. That is true talent.

Before I knew who Paul was I knew who his father was. Paul father was the Commissioner of Baseball for a few years. In 1982, I attended the All Star Game Home Run contest Practice session at what we used to call the Big A in Anaheim, California. I had a seat in the right field stands 10 rows from the field and caught a ball hit by Wade Boggs that had the OFFICIAL All Star Game Logo and Paul's father's signature imprinted on it. A. Bartlett Giamatti. Btw... I enjoy Paul's work as an actor. He does take on interesting roles.

Cafe Pucchini (before the fire in the kitchen the size of a walnut) served a ten or 11 inch pizza (no raised edge crust) which was straight forward, mushrooms, sauce, bell peppers, cheese, but then they layered pancetta on it. And enough of it. You can go to the meat section of Whole Foods where they slice meats for you, and they won't have it. Easily the most satisfying pizza I ever had. Of course one of my broke friends would show up when I sat outside on Columbus St., and wind up getting a slice from me. Some people have an internal clock...
