Saber River was a darker story. That character was at a darker point in his life and was carrying a secret that was kind of eating away at him.
For a character with longevity, you have to have that.
I feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually
The Westerns I like aren't really comedies. I'm drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.
You don't do characters that are the same as you, otherwise why bother to act?
It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.
He's a fish out of water, which is something I always like to play.
Obviously, it's one passion of mine. I mean, I don't always want to do westerns, but it's nice to always kind of have one in the works.
I've got nothing against this particular set of candidates, but I do think we're not seeing enough of who they are, ... We're kind of seeing who they and their handlers think we want them to be.
It's intimidating to play the nominee for president. The little kid inside you says, 'I'm not enough.' I would guess that happens to politicians, too. They go, 'C'mon, who am I kidding? I'm just this guy or this woman,'
I don't feel the obligation to have a big explosion in the first 20 seconds so the audience doesn't turn on another channel. We are trying to make something that looks like a feature film that was bought for television and I think we are succeeding.
I think there have been more movies in the Western genre than any other. I grew up watching those movies.
I think character is real important. And you know, and I think the public does.
I never try to pander to an audience, and I'm really not concerned with my image. I'm far more interested in stretching my abilities as an actor.
