It's still a trip for me to see somebody that I've only seen on television or in a movie. When they are there in real life, it's very different. When we played Detroit, Kevin Costner played before us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor.
My cinematic crush has been pretty much the same since I was 12: Kevin Costner.
I dream of acting with Kevin Costner. I would love to do a movie with him. Not something funny, but a dramatic role.
My dad traveled a lot, so I only usually saw him on weekends, growing up. His favorite actors in the world were Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. If Clint or Burt had a movie out, we would go to the movies. He didn't like movies, generally, unless Clint or Burt were in them.
Yes well I've done three movies with Samuel L. Jackson, so I've met him a couple of times already. Well, I see him everyday, but its only on the screen.
And I had known Peter O'Toole before in London. And I'd liked him very much. And the thought of being in a picture with him was very challenging to me. And he was playing the starring role.
I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.
I didn't want to make a literal film about Detroit, because it felt like what they were experiencing was more universal than that.
I grew up, like most people in my generation, watching John Travolta. I was thrilled to meet him.
All my buddies over the years, like Kevin Costner and the guys - I see 'em go here, I see 'em go there - but I just do my work.
