Judd Hirsch on "this thing called acting"
CBSN
On a warm winter day, Judd Hirsch returned to Coney Island. The first time he was here was more than 80 years ago. What's different now? "Only three things that are the same," he said. "There's the Cyclone, and there's the Wonder Wheel, and there's the parachute jump."
As a kid, he went on all the rides. But this is more than an amusement park to Hirsch. It's the place that changed his life. "If you look across the ocean, you can be anybody," he said. "You can be anybody if you walk on this boardwalk. All I know was that I didn't want to be what I was."
Who he was is a long way from who Judd Hirsch is now. Eighty-seven years old, he has perfected the art of turning the Everyman into someone extraordinary. His method? "The only thing I'm gonna do is be truthful. I'll play what I think is the most truthful thing about the character. That's all I can do."
