When [Washington’s] Alonzo and his crew were killed [drug dealer] roger [Scott Glenn]Denzel said in the car [Hawke’s] Jack, “This is chess, not checkers.” I remember noting in the script that if I could get the audience to agree with Alonzo even a little, it would be very special.

I told Ethan — and I’ll never forget it, Ethan can tell you the story — and I said, “If you guys do this scene well, you’ll be nominated.” After filming was over, Ethan came over to me, put his arm around me, and said, “I really think you’re crazy.” I thought, “Antoine is completely insane.” But I was right.
