Who do you have scenes with?
Christian Slater – I have a bunch of scenes where … pretty much everyone.

Sharon Stone?
Sharon played my wife. She gives me a haircut.

What was that like?
That was, that was … umm … that was an experience.

You have to elaborate.
No … oh, and Anthony Hopkins. That’s pretty much why I’m in the movie.  They said, 'There’s a scene with Anthony Hopkins and …’ and I said, 'Fine!'  I truly loved that.

Did he live up to your expectations?
Yes, he did.  He’s a complete gentleman – really smart, really funny, so generous.  Oh, I’d love to act with him again.

Really?
He’s one of those guys who makes it look easy.  I’ve always thought, when you act really, really well, that sometimes, you as the actor think, ‘That can’t be it.  All I did was tell him he was a selfish b-----d.  I mean, that scene – there’s gotta be more than that.’  And so often, it isn’t more than that.  That’s it.  You did it.  Go home.  You’re finished.  And he’s one of those actors who makes it look so off-the-cuff and so simple. And yet, when you see the film, it’s full and it’s all that’s required.

Did you have any scenes with Lindsay Lohan?
One scene.  One scene.

Was it hard?  She’s working with your wife, too, right? [on the set of “Georgia Rule”]
She’s completely charming.  Felicity said she’s a huge talent – that girl can act.  Ummm.

But?
Uh, you can’t show up late.  It’s very disrespectful.  I think what an actor has to realize is when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you.  And there is not an apology big enough in the world to make 150 people scramble.  It’s inexcusable.  It’s nothing but disrespect.  And Lindsay Lohan is not the only one.  A lot of actors show up late – as if they’re God’s gift to the film.  And it’s inexcusable, and they should have their a---s kicked.

Was she really that late?
Pretty late.

You’ve been in the business a long time.  You’ve done theater, voice-overs, film.  Do you feel like there’s a difference between those who’ve paid their dues and those who find stardom at a younger age?
Certainly there’s a difference between theater and film.  And I love it when big fat movie stars go to the theater.  I happened to witness one, one time.  I’d just gone backstage after one of the stars and a big movie star [came] out of his dressing room.  This woman comes out and goes, “Hey!  I’m your mothah?  Come back!  Hang up your costume!  Whassa matter with you?”  So he went back and hung up his costume.  You don’t mess with the Broadway dressers, boy.
