Auditions Quote by Nicholas Stoller
“When I was writing the script I thought he is this guy. I really hoped...I kept imagining him as that guy. And then he came in to audition and I was really nervous because I really wanted him to do Greek, you know? And he...I didn't know who else I could cast. And he was amazing in the audition. Really funny.”

![“In the Making Of book ["300"] there's a guy named Victor Davis Hanson who is a a frickin genius. He's a Greek historian and we showed him the movie because I wanted him to write a forward to the Making Of book. I was a little nervous to be honest, because I wasn't sure how he'd react.” quote by Zack Snyder](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b45/zack-snyder-7129_being-honest_in-the-making-of-book-300-there-s-a-guy_2644301.jpg)
