Eventually, in '84, we made a film for a little over a million dollars - with American actors that was shot in English - that was shown in Finland A little action film called Born American.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It proved to be pretty impossible to get funds for a feature film in Finland. It's still small, but the film industry was miniscule at that point in the early '80s.
I've done quite a few big American films.
There's nothing more American than movies.
I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.
I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.
I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.
I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.
I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.
I think the world's a little smaller these days. With the Internet and the availability of people, the pool of English speaking actors - not just American actors, but Brits, Australians, New Zealanders, Irish. We're all up for grabs.
I made this Swedish movie called 'Snabba Cash,' or 'Easy Money,' and it was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. A lot of American studios, agents, and people like that saw it there and liked it.
