## Caption

Three-time Oscar winner James L. Brooks — director of "Terms of Endearment" and "Broadcast News" — shares a crucial aspect of filmmaking: actors are truly the "co-authors" of every film, and the cast can make or break a project. He recalls the eight-month search for Holly Hunter in "Broadcast News" and how Garry Marshall's recommendation led to casting Greg Kinnear in "As Good As It Gets."
