When Spielberg was talking with the other executives about making this movie, he said he was only interested if they were going to tell the truth about the westward crossing, which means how the Native Americans were disrespected.
Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
I've always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans - the original Americans.
Jeff is a real perfectionist. He likes to do a lot of takes to make sure that we've exhausted everything before we call it quits on a scene. I was shocked that he is as much of a perfectionist as he is, because the way I know him is as a pretty loose, easy-going guy.
I wouldn't say I'm overcome by fans when I go out. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a rock star, that would be pretty crazy.
My son Jordan is an actor doing very well, he's going to be on Dawson's Creek this week. He's been on like 5 or 6 times.
My son Dylan, he is just graduating from high school, getting ready to do the college thing. He has acted several times with me.
I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they've mentioned to me before that they'd like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report. I know Amanda Tapping is a regular now on the show. But I have no plans to do that as we speak. But I don't know.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
I think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school. I was coming into a situation I didn't really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character's kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops. What they always do with these shows is they always leave them open-ended. The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that's a movie or a series, or whatever.
I've done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl's father. It's a half-hour comedy. And I'll be doing some more of those. I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don't Fade Away.
Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.
We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.
