Zitat des Tages von Scott Speedman:
I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before, and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.
I just would like to spend more time in New York City.
There's such good writing now on television and I don't see a lot of great writing on films sadly.
I don't see the point in signing on to do something and then leaving.
I remember listening to Cube's music when I was like 14 years old, my friends listening to it up in Toronto.
I don't think I would be getting any of these movies without that show, and that's a strong show, a great fan base and it's helped me out a lot. It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states and gave me my career basically.
And when I have lived elsewhere, every two weeks I have to fly back to LA. Even New York directors go there to audition. So I have to be there to a degree.
Duets is about six people, so it's like three different movies - three different duets. I was on the set 18 days, spread out over three and a half or four weeks.
I mean, I love California, but LA to me is still a strange place.
Probably the most difficult things were my favorite parts. The make-up and the big fight sequence at the end of the movie were very difficult but really fun and challenging.
I'd like to do the young cadet thing again for sure, but that's why I wanted to do this, to see if I could do it. I took the scenes out of the script and put them together and read them as one little arc, story and that seemed to work.
You've got to just go do what you do - you can't really worry about who was attached to the movie before.
There's nothing worse - I don't like listening to actors talk about the process, especially when - I mean, for me I've played a lot of guys, dudes, boys in a sense and this was a challenge for me just to play that official character.
And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.
I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.
It's an interesting time that way. It's hard to meet good girls down here. It seems like they're all after something and interested in their own lives.
I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.
If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?
I bought a house in LA, hanging out there and spending a lot of time in Toronto, but not much.
