Actors on their Wes Anderson education

For several young actors, Anderson's sets were a unique introduction to film

When Tony Revolori, then a 17-year-old with little Hollywood experience, was beginning to shoot Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, Jason Schwartzman took him aside to give some advice. No one knew better than Schwartzman what Revolori, who was starring alongside Ralph Fiennes, was in for. "He looked at me and he said, 'None of this is going to make sense until you've actually gone through it," Revolori recalls. "Your life is going to change in no way and every way. But as long as you keep the people around you, you're good.""

Much has been made of Anderson's recurring regulars, like Bill Murray, Adrien Brody and Owen Wilson. But for many young actors, Anderson's film sets have been their first real blush with moviemaking-or, at least, Anderson's elegant style of it.
