: Hey Jason,
: First off, you were great in Almost Famous. Which I liked, but felt
thata lot of the Francis McDormand stuff could have been dropped,
and most of the 'jokey' stuff sucked. It could have been a really solid
flic. Either way, I enjoyed it more than most of this year's offerings.
The shots of you playing the keyboard were hilliarious. As was that
amazing Jeff Bebe shirt you wore.
: I wanted to ask you, as an actor, how many scripts do you get sent
by people without agent representation? And if you do, are they even
read? I'm trying to figure out how actors get scripts for independant
films, if the scripts aren't represented. Because it seems almost as
hard to get an actor to read a script, as it is to get an agent to read
one.
: Oh, and awhile ago, you said that Amadeus was one of your
favourite films. Yeehaw! Amadeus rocks ass, and wanted to
commend you on your taste.
: Also, what films, and albums are you looking forward to in the
remainder of the year?
: Thanks,
: Jeff
I always tell people to send scripts to my agent. She always tells me
about scripts that come in from independent sources. Yeah,
Amadeus is amazing. I'm anxiously awaiting, "O Brother, Where Art
Thou." I was also anxiously awaiting "Kid A", Radiohead's new
album, but I was fortunate enough to get an advanced copy. It's
AMAZING!
