(2012) People come up and quote lines from The Wizard, and I don't know what the hell they're talking about. It was [directed by] Todd Holland, who of course went on to much success with Garry Shandling [on The Larry Sanders Show] and so forth. I had a good time on the set. It was interesting, 'cause Christian Slater was breaking out big, although the star really of the moment was Fred Savage. I thought Beau [Bridges] was terrifically tuned into what was happening. He took the work seriously-not without a sense of humor, but he was just always there and focused. Christian at the time I think was exploring his particular persona, and he was... what can I say, he was completely enamored of Jack Nicholson. Every time they'd basically wrapped a shot, he'd go "Can I have one more?" and he'd do it à la Jack. And they'd go, "Fine," and then we'd move on.
