| That's Dan O'Bannon I'm staring at (writer of ALIEN). He and John Carpenter cooked up DARK STAR while we were all at USC Film School. I assumed it was going to take a few weeks to shoot . We wrapped up three years later. So much for assumptions. |
| One of my greatest acting challenges has been driving a 1925 Lincoln Town Car down a narrow street between a camera crew and parked antique cars and appearing relaxed when I was dead sure I was either going to cream a Model A or take out an assistant cameraman. Everyone lived, I am happy to report. |
| In KUKSU I played a psychiatrist in 1927 whose nieces wander off on a mystical quest. Lounging around mansions for days at a time dressed in period attire was very relaxing. Returning in street clothes to the world of the 1990s was stressful. |

When Peter Babakitis (Producer and Director of HENRY V as well as KUKSU, and here seen in the title role) asked me to be in this film I was given a choice of roles. I chose the one with less risk of falling off horses. This role gave me chilling insight into how right wing religious types promote war. Peace, y'all. |
