Someone who is demented and kills somebody with an axe. Actually, my dream is to do a film along the lines of The Shining. ![]() You haven't been in a lot of studio movies.īelieve me, I wouldn't complain if I was in Star Wars. It's a good time, they rock, but they're like cartoon superheroes. I really dig the whole show KISS puts on, but I'm not the biggest fan of their we-want-to-rock'n'roll-all-night music. They were all about trying to touch your soul. That's show business.įrom that era I really like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. And in Detroit Rocks I got to be in the 70s and smoke dope in a Volkswagen with my disco-loving girlfriend Natasha Lyonne and hang out with KISS! But the Gene Simmons tongue thing. American History X was so rough, I wanted to do something fun, and I always wanted to be in a Fast Times At Ridgemont High type movie. I might look like a Klingon.ĭetroit Rock City is pretty tame by comparison. My biggest worry was that I'd have some weird freaking bump on my head. Really soon, I'd find myself hiding from him. Every once in a while I'd call him and say "I want to get back into working out". American History X would solidify his status as a leading man that is also an incredible actor. Dereks followers include his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong), who worships him his girlfriend, Stacey (Fairuza Balk), who thoughtlessly parrots his. I've never done the working out for six hours kind of thing. Other than shaving your head, did you do any preparation? But when I wanted to get some background, mostly I just looked up stuff on the internet. Even so, there's no way I'm going to hang out, going buddy-buddy with a bunch of rascist skinheads. And they all wanted to kick my ass because I'm white. When I was growing up I went to a school where there were only blacks and not a lot of white kids. In American History X you play a white supremacist, but you're so laid back.Īu contraire. I thought I'd never be in another movie again. By the end of shooting T2, I was sure no one would think what I did was good. I had no clue what to do, or what to expect. It was your first film and it was so successful. ![]() It was because I was a shy white skinny kid and it would get me chicks. The only reason I did it in the first place wasn't because I wanted to be an actor and be great, which are the reasons I want to do it now. I was only 13 and I was so excited at the time. ![]()
