Ironically, Hale’s wife was formerly a makeup artist on “Saturday Night Live” and already had encountered Ferrell on numerous occasions. “I’d heard all these great stories about Will – about how he was so hilarious yet down to earth, and now that I’ve gotten to know him, I realize that everything they said about him was true,” says Hale. “He’s a really normal, nice guy who happens to be incredibly talented.”
For Hale, the entire experience of STRANGER THAN FICTION was strangely wonderful. “You hear all these nightmare stories about how Hollywood is filled with egos and jaded people and cynics, but the people on this film could not have been nicer, harder working or more interested in serving the story. Marc, Lindsay, Will — everyone just seemed to share the same vision. I’m almost afraid to do another film because the bar was raised so high on this one.”
