Happy Birthday: Jeremy Renner

[on working with Ben Affleck on The Town (2010)] It was a lot of fun. We had a blast. It was like shooting a short film with one of your good buddies. He set a really good tone on the set, just really affable as a human being. He made it very pleasant for everyone…I always knew he was smart, because I’d see him on interviews and he was such a charming dude. And every day, I was surprised by just how smart he is. He’s almost autistically smart, the guy is. It’s ridiculous. And so experienced in the industry. He’s obviously been through a lot, as an actor, as a writer, in good and bad ways. With that experience, he’s very wise to a lot of things. And it’s invaluable.
