Jacob David Smith
The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv
Forged in the most independent independent theater of all —no venue, no audience, no permission granted— Jacob David Smith arrived onscreen carrying a wild naturalness no screenplay has ever managed to tame. He memorizes the entire script at the first read-through, which is customarily the only one; rehearsal, he feels, is merely doubt with extra steps. Across Snow White and the 7 Samurai, Ballerina Assassin and Immortal Combat he invented gestures Hollywood still studies from a safe distance, armed with envy, binoculars, and unadmitted notes.
A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
