Mr. Cranky:
If you were offered the opportunity to live your life as another film person (actor, director, etc.) who would it be and why?
- Bryan Brown:
The simple fact of the matter is there has got to be something better than a film or TV personality, actor, director, etc to live my life as.
What is the most bizarre experience you've had making a movie?
-
Being with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda on my 40th birthday!
What do you wish you could change about yourself and why?
-
My drinking habits, and why is obvious.
If you could work with any person in the film industry, past or present, actor, director or writer, who would it be and why?
-
I read an article on Paul Newman the other day. I've always liked him and I'm sure working with him would be rather lovely.
You've been hired to remake "Casablanca." Who do you cast in the leads and why?
-
I'm more interested in who the caterer will be.
Describe something in your career (a role you took, a direction you gave, an edit you made) that you regret.
-
I can't. I can't believe I've gotten away with this life as it is.
What one person have you enjoyed working with the most?
-
Leaving my wife, Rachel Ward, out of the equation, I have to say Michael
Apton, who directed "Gorillas in the Mist", was great to be in Africa
with.
Of all the movies you have seen, which one made you the crankiest?
-
Raging Bull
What question do reporters and interviewers ask you that, when you come right down to it, is just really none of their goddamned business?

I'm not that insecure!
Suddenly the film industry vanishes. What are you doing to make ends meet and do you enjoy it?
-
I'm fucked.
