Scheduled to shoot a quick face portrait, Minton found a few minutes in the studio's back garden with Reilly and a mirror ball. ''He started looking at himself and making faces,'' says Minton. ''It reminded me of his character in Boogie Nights.'' The photographer was amazed by Reilly's ability to effortlessly control his facial expressions on the shoot. ''He could freeze a moment that would look 'caught,''' he says. ''That was pretty remarkable.''
