Network’s rating dependent. A show might not stick. A lot’s timing. Like, my Bradley Cooper in ‘Kitchen Confidential’ didn’t always work. Cable supports young shows. TV Land, which you can find on Hulu, Amazon, iTunes, wanted ‘Younger.’ They came to me.
Darren Star

Although ‘L.A. Confidential’ is a long movie, there’s never a moment when you think, ‘I’m loving this… but when’s dinner?’ Each time I see it, I discover something I hadn’t noticed before. It has a tremendous skill in developing all the subplots.

I don’t really write with living actors in mind. I guess I write for dead actors. I’ll think of like, you know, Burt Lancaster would be good in this part, and so on. With ‘L.A. Confidential,’ it was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if Dean Martin played the Kevin Spacey part?’

Barton Gellman
I’ve been fascinated by the world ever since I read ‘Kitchen Confidential’ by Anthony Bourdain.
