Oliver Platt, brother of NY Mag restaurant critic Adam Platt, plays a food critic in Chef, and he talks to the NY Post about a few tips gleaned from his brother. "Adam doesn't write the way that guy does, but he pointed me right away in the direction of a specific review [as inspiration]," the actor Platt says. The takeaway: "If you're going to be that mean, you better be funny. That's the sugar that makes the medicine go down." [NYP]
