The Big Lebowski is the Coen Brothers at their comedic best, and John Turturro’s Jesus Quintana is one of many highlights.  In the video above, Turturro talks about how the character of “The Jesus” evolved.  A great example of the value of the informal environment in regards to collaborative work.  Just remember, “Nobody fucks with the Jesus.”
