With movies like
The Big Lebowski,
Fargo, Barton Fink, Rasing Arizona and Millerīs Crossing, Joel and his brother Ethan have made their impact on
Hollywood. Joel is always credited as the
director, but the truth is that the brothers always direct/write/produce together. So this is not to be taken too seriously.
Joel likes to cast:
Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Jon Polito, John Turturro, and Frances McDormand (Joelīs wife, the policewoman in
Fargo). Joel just adopted a little baby named Pedro.
