Quote of the Day

[wowie]

The recently published book "Sean Penn: His Life And Times" by Richard T Kelly includes a short (pages 241-258) but very interesting section on "The Indian Runner". Among others it confirms that Viggo was chosen for the role of Frank after Sean Penn had seen him in "Fresh Horses".

Sean Penn: "I was over at Robin's little house in Santa Monica Canyon, waiting for her to get dressed for a date. The television was on, sound off, and I saw a face: he was only a cameo in a movie, but I saw the face that I'd had in my head when I wrote Indian Runner. He had something, an angularity, a severity to his handsomeness that I perceived as being like Frank. So I watched the movie through, and I called Don [Phillips] and said, 'Find out who he is.' "

"find out who he is"


That was my first thought when I saw him here:

I had read that quote and it made perfect sense after I saw Green in Fresh Horses. Green is a lot like Frankie as far as looks and demeanor. His accent is a lot thicker though. It's amazing how well Viggo does those accents! Hopkins and Green especially!
