Chandler >> Co-Workers' Quotes About Chandler

"That also goes for Chandler Canterbury. Both of those actors, the movie wouldn't work without them because they were phenomenally real. Chandler has this enormous depth for his years and he's so truthful. It seems effortless. Often you hear stories about never working with children. I disagree because children still have that residual magical thinking. They haven't had their imagination knocked out of them by turning into adults and life experiences. That's what acting really is in my opinion. It's the ability to imagine what's going on around you is real. So it makes it very easy and it's a joy for me to work with Chandler."
- Nicolas Cage ("Knowing" Co-Star)

"Chandler is a really good person, and he's very deep for his age and he's excellent in the movie. He's effortless. My feelings towards him are like an uncle, almost. I wanna see him realize all his dreams and I'm happy to see he has a wonderful family to support him."
- Nicolas Cage ("Knowing" Co-Star)

"This young man is deep beyond his years."
- Nicolas Cage ("Knowing" Co-Star)

"I would describe Chandler as a good actor. But he’s definitely a boy. He would ask me things like, would I shave my head for a movie? Or would I want to take my eyebrows off for a movie? Would I want to get rid of an eye for a movie? And I would say no to all those questions."
- Lara Robinson ("Knowing" Co-Star)

"He had to be real. There was just something special about Chandler. It was something that we hadn’t seen before. It’s not that precociousness that you get with a lot of kid actors in Hollywood. Chandler lives in Texas and there's something about not growing up in Hollywood that translates to who he is as an actor."
- Jason Blumenthal ("Knowing" Producer)

"Lara and Chandler both were amazing in the way they understood what it takes to make a movie. They’re great because they’re real kids. The minute we yell cut, they’re back to just being kids. They’re playing and having a good time and they enjoy it. And there's something so exciting about watching these kids enjoy what they do."
- Jason Blumenthal ("Knowing" Producer)
