Case Quote by Michael Stuhlbarg
“I did a play back in 2005 called 'The Pillowman,' which Martin McDonagh directed, in which, at the very end of the run, I caught a case of shingles. I had something burst on my forehead, so I actually have a mark on my forehead from that experience. But it's also an internal mark as well.”

![“I had a great time working with Denis [Villeneuve] and the whole group. It was a very different kind of a part [in Story of Your Life] than I've played in a while. But I had great fun; and yes, it was really nice not to have to answer to anybody about that.” quote by Michael Stuhlbarg](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/14d/michael-stuhlbarg-12244_answers_i-had-a-great-time-working-with-denis-vi_342066.jpg)
