We weren’t kidding when we said Addison Timlin has worked with a number of big stars during her career. From her role in “Derailed” alongside Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston to co-starring with Stanley Tucci in “Submission,” she’s long been on the periphery of A-lister status. It only makes sense, then, that in 2013, Harper’s Bazaar called her an up-and-coming star.
That’s not to say she’s always been confident around said other stars, though. Speaking with the outlet, Timlin poked fun at some of her more awkward moments on yet another production featuring a number of big — nay, legendary — names. We’re talking about Alan Arkin, Al Pacino, and Christopher Walken in “Stand Up Guys.” Of her time on set, she joked that the experience was “mostly terrifying.” It didn’t help that she’d made a cheeky joke that didn’t land quite as she’d intended early on. “One of the producers said to me, ‘You’re so young … what is it like to do a scene with Pacino?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know, I’m carrying a lot of dead weight.’ For a split second I could tell he was thinking, ‘Oh my God, maybe she is that young, and dumb enough to not know who these people are,'” she joked.

Suffice it to say, though, she knew exactly who she was working with and referred to her time working with the greats as “profound and pivotal.”
