Play, Next, Wide Range

You'll see a lot more blood in 'Saw' movies or something like that than you will in either of the 'Last House' movies. I kind of think it owes more to 'The Virgin Spring' which is the original source material, the Bergman movie. Garret Dillahunt

Work, James, About

I did the whole rock and roll thing that's coming up. I think you're going to enjoy that! 'Burt Rocks', it's called. I like that he's a dreamer; I like how positive he is. There's a lot of things I think I can learn from Burt. Garret Dillahunt

Rock And Roll, I Think, Roll

I think I have music in me! I had a scholarship to study singing at one point, and I've never really done anything about it. I've done some music on stage, but it's been a long time. It would be kind of fun. Garret Dillahunt

In the past, if you did film, you couldn't do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn't do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be.

Had, Good Story, Bounce

I'm an ensemble guy, I guess - that comes from the theater. If I ever won some kind of award someday, I imagine I'd try to be very gracious, but in the end, I just want to keep working.

Some, Very, Doing

Which, McCarthy, Like

My Life, Doubted, Sexuality

Brad Pitt is a dude who just wants to make good movies.

That ends up making a poorer movie. Garret Dillahunt

Movie, Good Movies, Pitt
