- JOHN TURTURRO doesn't think of acting and filmmaking in
- competitive terms. "After all, it's not sport," he says. But
- he's not complaining that the competition of Cannes let him walk
- off with the best-actor award. The star of Barton Fink, which
- also won Cannes honors for best film and direction, is finally
- coming into his own after performing in 20 films. A favorite of
- director Spike Lee, who complained bitterly after being shut out
- of the big honors at Cannes, the busy Turturro, 34, can also be
- seen this summer in Lee's Jungle Fever. Next on his plate:
- directing his own screenplay, which took him 10 years to write.
