      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Billy Bob Thornton:        - He had a jacket on earlier, but thought he'd break out his       tattoos.                - He plays a lot of 'tough' characters, like Bad Santa. Why       does he get these roles? He doesn't know; they call him. Probably it       was Bad Santa got him focused in this character formula.                - There's some of his dad in Mister Woodcock. His dad was a       high school basketball coach. He brought coaching home. He was 5'8",       158 pounds, and everyone was terrified of him. He assumes everyone had       a terrifying gym coach at some point.                - Has he rules for roles he plays? It starts with the script,       and tries to do different guys. He avoids Southern Sheriff. Who else       is in it, who's the director, how much money is it?                - His character's wife is Susan Sarandon, whom he never met       before, but she's pretty. They hid when her husband, Tim Robbins, was       there.                - He tricked her for the first impression. He wanted to make       her think he was an obsessed fan, and collected dozens of pictures from       her childhood and movies, plastered them in his trailer, and invited her       for coffee, and didn't refer to it.                - The joke went nowhere: she didn't say anything or look at the       walls or anything. As time went on she mentioned she noticed he was       trying to play a joke, but perhaps he really has some odd nature. He       might really be crazy.               - After the show we're going bowling. You and me. Conan is       taken aback. Frank Zappa used to do that sort of thing, taking the       whole audience to McDonald's after the show or so. Oprah gives her       audience cars; Conan takes them bowling.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
