I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.
It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.
Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.
We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.
My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
I'm a huge fan of Michael Hirst, and I'm a huge fan of historical drama.
I have 52 first cousins. My mom and dad were the only two to move to North America, so I've got deep family there, but I'm a California kid.
I did a pilot for HBO, called One Percent, that they didn't end up picking up, but it was a pretty intense and dramatic piece.
I feel quite blessed that I can actually balance between the two worlds, because a lot of really talented actors I know end up getting set in a certain category and no one will ever buy that they can exist outside that category, even though you know full well that they can.
There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.
Ultimately, it has been a struggle- but I was in Minneapolis and Austin a couple of weeks ago, sitting in theaters with complete strangers watching this weird movie that Kirk and I thought up and I was excited to be making film.
I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
Yeah, I'd done a bunch of pilots. Some that had gone for a while. One that went for 13 episodes. But I had never been on a show that had lasted more than that.
