Idi
Forest
I know he really gets into the roles, like for
Ghost Dog he learned some marital arts- but this is spooky---
- "I spent so much time while I was in Uganda trying to understand the customs, the eating, the mosques. I don't know if there was any place I didn't try to visit ... or people I didn't try to talk to," Whitaker told UPI in New York. "I slowly started to simulate it. It was like a food which became a part of my system, in my blood."
Understand the eating? I wonder how far he took that research.
