Baby Snatcher TV Movie with Veronica Hamel can best be summed up with one word: Ridiculous.

Yes, he is. Although I take it it's not one of his favorites.

Michael on Iguana:
Should go in the omigod category. Shot on the island of Lanzarotti in the Canary Islands, directed by Monte Hellman. I was mercilessly edited out, thank goodness.

I've always thought it is so cruddy that Michael has been in or edited out of so many horrible films. He has so much talent that I can't see how he ended up in some of these that scar his career so badly.
Silly enough, no matter how bad he says they are or how bad the reviews are I still watch them any chance I get just to see Michael in action. Talk about addicted...... Jeez

I'll watch anything that Michael's in. Michael would like to play Batman if only for his sons and he did suggest he might get a chance to play Batman if Batman was put into a Mafia movie. Nove.

It's rare to see a brother and sister do so well in acting. Especially since Michael didn't have those ins,like nepotism,as his father was a 30 - year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department and his mother had a drama scholarship but she married young and didn't purse it,though she is a producer and writer now. Michael says we did it the old fashion way. I think my sister and I are not,by any stretch of the imagination,overnight successes. We've both been around for 15,16 years. I couldn't have been happier for Viginia to get that Supporting Actress nomination for the Golden Globe. I just watched her on The Tonight Show. It's one thing to be working all the time and to be considered successful but it's another thing when people get nomimated for their work. She's waited for a very,very,long time for something like that and I couldn't be happier. It's almost like it's happening for both of us. She's always been good at surviving some pretty crappy movies. That goes for both of us. Both of us have made a tremendous amount of clinkers. There's a handful of good ones out there. I think it just comes down to ...it's what you do for a living. If you're an actor,you've gotta act. I think you can't always be blessed with a great script. YOu can't always be blessed with a good director. A lot of productions you get involved in, people make you promises about this and that and how it's going to be and how it isn't going to be. Once you're involved and realize it's not going to go that way,there's nothing you can do about it. You can't just throw up your arms and walk of th set. You have to finish building what you signed on for even if you know it's going the wrong way. For someone like Virginia and myself,it's been a long,long road. What does one do? Go to the speedway and start working in a pit crew because I can't find a good script? You always hope ther'e a great project right around the corner. Nove.

Michael says I think of Michael Caine who has been in a slew of awful movies,yet he was always good in them. Sure. There's nothing wrong with being good in a bad film. I don't think I've ever been bad in a good film. A lot of people,though,have been blessed with time to make choices. I don't think Virginia and I have ever been blessed with time to make choices. We've had to take care of our famlies. We've had to keep the machine going and it wasn't always easy. We often had to take films that for other reasons we never would have done. God,I could make quite a list of the ones I should have stayed away from. I think maybe Donnie Brasco,Resevoir Dogs,The Getaway,the first Free Willy,the first Species,Kill Bill were tha most I've been happy with. Kill Bill, volume 2 was one of the best experiences I had making a film.
It really was a great set,a great atmosphere. Everybody was so happy to be on the set with Quentin that everybody was at his or her best. You're surrounded by people who are good at what they do and they're at their best in doing the job. It's infectious. Nove.

Like Michael says he has a lot of decisions to make. Like making Tilt and making a success of it. He didn't just jump right into it.He thinks he's learned that much over time. Resevoir Dogs will continue to follow me around for many more years to come and it's funny,because while we were doing it,I wasn't conscious that we were making a film that was going to be memorable. It was just a low-budget movie I was doing witha first -time director and nobody really thought that much about it. I just wanted to do it because I thought it was a good cool script and I thought it might be fun. Who knew,right? I played a vicious character like Robert Mitchum's in Night of the Hunter or the original Cape Fear. Yes, Michael has worked hard to support his family and now he's getting more work, when perhaps he should be slowng down abit. Nove.
