I am fascinating by that nude picture of the woman in the background. Is she someone famous or just a nude picture he keeps in his office?

Re: McKee hasn't produced, etc.: see Scotty Bowman and Béla Károlyi. Outstanding coaches who were not noteworthy players themselves. Food for thought.

Can someone tell me how many times I have to use the gap? Every beat, scene, squence,...?

Stop thinking in terms of sequences, beats etc. Jus think about the story. Use the gap only when it is appropriate. Like for say when a worker who has been mentally abused by her boss one day suddenly says; Shut. THE FUCK UP! Now that is a good example of the Gap. What character expects to happen and what DOES happen. A great character surprises himself, just like us. He does something that he never expected to do when the Antagonistic force of the world presses down on him. I went to Robert Mckee seminar a few years back and he said; A character reveals himself under pressure. The greater the pressure the more the character has to force himself to evolve, and in that moment the gap opens. Hope that explains.
