This is professional theater, and we will cast the best people we can. I would love to have a combination of people from the area and the Triangle.
The move to Asia is absolutely massive for players, coaches, fans and clubs,
It also shows how successful the A-League has been in acting as a showcase of talent.
Steve is aware we're trying to add more experienced players to the squad and decided a one-year contract would suit him better.
He's real. He will be big. He sits down, talks to people, fields questions. You don't see a lot of artists doing that.
The glimpses of his personal life against the brutal violence has that schizophrenic quality.
The hairs on the back of my neck stick up with the thought of playing here, and then zooming off mid-week to play in China or Korea in a Champions League match, getting exposure to billions of people. From a commercial perspective, for sponsors and backers, the potential there is quite massive.
It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.
You don't really have time to do other than what's written. It's very rigid. Shows have a certain rhythm that nobody wants disturbed. So a lot of that doesn't take place on television, at least the television I was doing at the time when I first started.
You make the choice. You look at each scene and you make sure that this is not a person deceiving people.
Part of you wants to look over at the people watching and say, "Not bad, huh? Me and Clint Eastwood." But you have to get past that and just be an actor.
Clint Eastwood is a very soft-spoken, humble guy, actually, which helped put somebody like me at ease, who had never worked with somebody as huge as that. I'm sure that's not always the case with legendary people.
To be in a movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and a movie that had a large budget... I got a taste of what really good filmmaking could be.
What it targets is not something that's really looked at a lot in terms of the war. This is stuff that's off the beaten path in terms of what we think of every time you start a Civil War history or a Civil War presentation. It's usually about the military and the soldiers and all that stuff. And this is not. It's the backdrop to a place and a time and circumstances that didn't have anything to do with that.
