will has had parts in four of noah's movies, starting with the squid and the whale (which also costarred fiske). my idea was that will sort of blew the audition for it but the way he tried to recover from it struck noah as something like what the character would have done, so he was cast anyway. over the next few years, will and noah kept in touch even as will left acting (2006-2010), somewhat through mmargot, who has greta gerwig credits. noah continued to encourage will to come back and do his own behind the scenes work, which he eventually did. through the years as will matured the two continued to work together and developed more of a peer relationship. most recently, they were working together to develop the character of charlie from marriage story (apparently noah and adam were working on it from the time of meyerowitz stories). as funding came together for the movie, will had scheduling conflicts with a play hew as doing and had to drop out, but was a huge public cheerleader for his replacement and the movie in general.
again, happy to work on it another way - or to come up with another line with you if you go with other credits.
