The Florida Film Festival has always done its best to bring some big names to Central Florida. Case in point of their success: Richard Dreyfuss. The Oscar-winning actor was in town for a screening of his Oscar-winning role in 1977’s “The Goodbye Girl” at the Enzian Theater in Maitland on Friday night.

Hal Boedeker had an in-depth interview with Dreyfuss, 71. But we couldn’t pass up the chance to speak with him in person.

In the span of a few minutes, Dreyfuss talked about ego, the ability to stretch into different characters and how to bring delight to any role.
