To celebrate the release of The Humanity Bureau in US theatres and on iTunes, my clever brother-in-law Peter Liepa made me this lovely GIF, in which I oppose online piracy while looking like a pirate. Thanks, Peter!
Filming The Humanity Bureau with Nicolas Cage
As I've said in these pages, you learn a lot by how stars treat those who are much further down the call sheet... especially in the freezing cold at 7 in the morning. As well as being intensely focused and present throughout our scene, Nicolas Cage was unfailingly polite, generous, and kind.
Apparently, I'm not allowed to say much about this film, except that I was in it (in a small but satisfying role) and that everyone was really lovely, including Nicolas Cage: filming with him, I would have to say, was a career highlight. I hope I acquitted myself well... at least I managed not to burble about Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona (although, personally, if I had given even one performance that good at any time in my life, I could die a happy Canadian). The Humanity Bureau is due out next year.
