Boston, Kaiyue Hotel.
In a business meeting room, Martin Scorsese met the young actor sharing his name.
Reserved in demeanor, he was handsome but otherwise unremarkable.
Just like many ordinary detectives he had seen that afternoon at the police department.
After exchanging greetings, Scorsese asked directly, "What brings you to Boston?"
"I want to fight for the role of Colin Sullivan." Martin, aware of the production's progress, made no attempt to hide his eagerness, "I am confident in my acting skills and I want to earn your approval in the audition, even if there's only a one percent chance, I'll give it a hundred percent effort."
He selectively shared his real experiences: "I come from the slums of Atlanta, where I saw more drug dealers and gangsters than PD; I lack insight into that field, so I specifically asked the agency to contact BPD to join them and gain some real-life experience."
