Martini Shot: Dick Wolf Wears a Suit
Episode length: 14m
It's easy to give script notes to a writer when he's wearing a T-shirt and dresses like a kid at summer camp. It's harder to tell a guy dressed like a hedge-fund shark that the dialogue needs to be 'quirkier'. Which is one of the reasons why Dick Wolf wears a suit. What you're wearing — or driving, or strapping on your wrist — matters, of course, in the room. In the entertainment business, we try to dress casually and comfortably. Big mistake. There's nothing casual or comfortable about show business. Follow us (and like us!) at Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts, and on Twitter.
