Stanley Tucci says his 'caustic' Devil Wears Prada character is the one most like him

Stanley Tucci didn't hesitate when he revealed which character he's played is most like him— 'Devil Wears Prada' art director Nigel Kipling, of course.

Films like Greg Mottola's The Daytrippers and Woody Allen's comedy Deconstructing Harry showcased his comedic chops and dashing charm. The film follows an Anna Wintour-like fashion media mogul ( Meryl Streep) who tests the grit of a plucky young assistant ( Anne Hathaway), who gets by with a little help from friends like Nigel, the fictional magazine's witty art director. One surprising reason he found himself with a narrowed range of opportunities was, paradoxically, the success of The Devil Wears Prada, after which Tucci said he "couldn't get a job."
