First of all, what a great boy he is.

I say "child" because I am ten years older than him.

It's about how Brad succeeded; I have a friend, Ben Taylor, who used to be a performance assistant in Los Angeles. At that time, Brad was just another child in a small town and a blue-collar family. He is trying to find an agent and audition, making a living and doing odd jobs to pay the rent. But Ben said that Brad tried his best to audition for everything he could find, take acting classes, focus on improving his skills and never give up.

But there is another thing … the difference between a good and diligent actor and a huge movie star … that is charm.

When I met Brad in the background of California, he had just made a river running through it, but I didn't see it. I haven't seen his humble but eye-catching role in Selma and Louise. So, when we met, I had never seen his actions or heard of him.

When our director dominic sena took over and introduced me to them, Brad and Juliette Lewis were sitting on the steps of the warehouse area, which was one of our shooting locations. I will save Juliet's story again, but I just want to talk about Brad: within a few seconds of seeing him, I thought, "Well, if this child can act, he will become a huge star." ? I thought it was because I had worked with many attractive movie stars, but that Brad guy ... as many attractive people as possible.

It is a pleasure to work with him. In fact, the scene we did together was one of my favorite scenes in those years when I was an actor. If you have seen California, I am his parole officer, near the beginning of the movie. Because of this role, my teeth are rotten, my clothes are really rotten, my hair is greasy, my side corner is sideways, and there is a fake hook.

Many years ago, my wife and I were in rioja, and we planned to taste wine in Bodegas Faustino, which was great. Since 185 1. When we arrived at the winery, a charming young man in a black suit and a white starched shirt was standing in front of the winery. We introduced each other, and soon he blurted out, "You're a parole officer!" " " ? Considering the ugliness I saw in that movie, I'm not sure whether I should be flattered that he remembered my performance in Brad or insulted because I looked so horrible in the movie. But it was an interesting memory.
