Guy Quotes - Page 176

I had an afro and glasses, and the guy who cast me goes, "All right, the first thing to go is the afro and the next thing, I'm going to buy you contacts and we're going to get you..." So he kind of molded me into what it had to - that's still probably the hardest role I've every played in anything, the most taxing role.

And, for the record, Ed Greenwood is one of the smartest guys I've ever met.
