Quote: Sean Penn on finding Frank

[wowie]

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.' "

And the rest, as they say, is history. Just can't imagine anyone else as Frank - Viggo definitely made that one his own!

I saw just the Viggo bits of this on VCH. He was so *freaking* good. He wasn't always good at that point in his career (IMO) and the others in the scene certainly sucked, but I really enjoyed his ~5 minutes of screen time.

Personally I liked this scene at the bar the best... he says nothing. LOL

It's like... that was Viggo. Hold on. REW. Sure enough! Pause. Stare. Continue.

I see...you like your Viggo in bite-sized pieces, eh? *wonders what the hell that means*

I can bite him plenty easily. Yes.
