Getting finished with it. Going home everyday is nice.
Yeah. It did get renewed. Pretty cool.
I still find it odd. Taking your clothes off in front of 150 people. I was naked more on set than I was in my own home. Well sure, I mean, you can get used to anything, can’t you?
As far as me being the sex object? I’m not really tired of that yet.
I did a film called I Melt With You. Shot up in Big Sur with Jeremy Piven and Rob Lowe. It has to do with the location. We all play lost souls. So, um, it was a real mind-fucker that film.
Oh you know what? She’s a real sweetheart. I went out to meet her and she was so, so nice. She hung out with us on the set for many hours, and she never got tired or bored. She’s excited about acting, and her acting career, and I think she’s a genuine talent. I admire her very much.
You know, just to listen to her dad. He’s done pretty well by her.
Well, I’m writing a western. It’s called A Magnificent Death from a Shattered Hand. And I’m also producing and starring in a film called War Dogs. It's starring me and Ron Perlman. He’s an old buddy of mine.
It’s like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid during the fall of Rome. So it's a couple of Roman soldiers. Running around. It’s a great, excellent script. Me and Ron are gonna kick it in the pants!
