The reason Hitchcock treated actors and writers badly is that he couldn’t act or write.

When's the written, directed and starring Job Bob Briggs: The Movie coming?

Peter Bernard

Well, you know, my first day working on your friend Fred Williamson's movie "One Down Two to Go" when I was 17, I was taken aside and explained that the actors are loathed by everyone else on a film set, and that we refer to them as "talent" in a sarcastic way. This was the 80s and it had been that way for a long while-- the separation between "crew" and "talent." If Hitchcock was "bad to actors," I doubt that Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart would have worked with him over and over again.

How did he treat other directors?

Hitchcock famously referred to actors as being "cattle." Although he had a very dry sense of humour, hard to tell how serious he was at any given point. Hitch did clearly want complete and total control over his sets though. I think actors were the one component he struggled with the most to keep in line with his vision. And his actresses... think they got the roughest end out of the deal. He was very obsessed with icy blondes.

Wait until you hear about some guy from Torrance with a foot fetish. You peaked with your analysis of a Madonna song, QT.

Another gifted dude who never learned to play nice with others. Steve Jobs had the same problem. Adored for his work by the public, but loathed by many who knew him.

He gave good cameo though.

I didn't ever believe him when he said "Good Evening"

Only problem is to consider the power dynamic. It’s far easier to pick on a new performer or someone weaker than you than it is to pick on someone like a Grant or Stewart.
