No question. There's shades of the O.J. trial in this one. The difference in our movie is my guy is completely committed and does everything he can to find out who the bad guy is,

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.

I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.

People have all these preconceptions about me. Whereas if you look at the roles, Henry Hill was the nicest guy in 'Goodfellas!' I was a nice guy too in the comedy 'Heartbreakers.' And I was a really sweet father to Johnny Depp in 'Blow!'

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.
