Actor Paul Dano responds to Quentin Tarantino’s criticism of him

On Jan. 28, Matthew Lillard told Entertainment Weekly he kept showing supportive responses to his wife to reassure himself he is still liked, describing it as `like living through your own wake`.
Months ago, Quentin Tarantino said on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast he did not `care for` Matthew Lillard and Owen Wilson and called Paul Dano the `weakest fucking actor in SAG`.
Industry figures publicly defended Lillard, with Mike Flanagan calling him `the goddamn greatest`, James Gunn calling him `one of my favorite guys`, and social-media tributes celebrating him alive.
The uproar coincides with Lillard's busy slate, including reprising Stu Macher in Scream 7 in theaters Feb. 27 and Find Familiar Spirits releasing Ghost Face Vodka Feb. 9 at $160.
At festivals and online, Toni Collette and directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris publicly pushed back against Tarantino while Lillard said at GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio, months ago that the remarks `hurt your feelings`.
