see you in a time michael a lot of people would yeah so now when you when you
do these
were you looking for ticks
when you do movies when you do any of your movies a lot of a lot of actors and
actresses come on the
show and they explain that they go through a period of research before they
actually start shooting the
film and i would guess that you're sort of like that yourself well you know i
don't really do that much
i'm sorry michael yeah
i'm sorry michael yeah
um so you never really do anything you never like uh go out with cops if you're
playing a cop you
you never well there there are some actors that like to research uh the guy who
played the cop in
reservoir dogs the one who was uh in the trunk
this is this is the guy that you that uh seen in the warehouse the guy that you
tortured yeah
yeah he came to me and asked me to uh drive him around in my trunk in my car
uh so he could get into character you know yeah and uh i thought that was
pretty funny and uh i didn't
think there'd be anything in it for me until i got him in the trunk yeah then
the fun began yeah yeah
yeah so he wanted me to drive him around the block but uh i drove around for
about 45 minutes
i went to taco bell and he didn't appreciate it no i wouldn't think so
especially when i opened the
trunk when we got back he was all sweaty and yeah he was all banged up and now
when you when you're
doing a scene like that and i hate to keep going back to that one scene
involving you and the the other
actor there what does that do to you can you just go home then and have dinner
and watch tv and go to
sleep or does does that kind of just stay with you because it was unbelievably
powerful well yeah you
