Jack Nicholson in The Departed

When an actor like Jack Nicholson makes a film suggestion, you listen. During The Departed, Nicholson wanted to make sure that audiences knew just how evil his Frank Costello was: so he demanded they include a scene with a woman and illegal substances.

When the film was released in 2006, audiences definitely remembered his character as one of the best. The actor also banned any Boston Celtics clothing on set, since he’s a strong LA Lakers supporter.
