I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw ‘Doctor Zhivago’ every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that’s different than you imagine it.
I’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I think that is what helped me get the role on ‘Lassie’, I was comfortable around the dog, where many of the kids were afraid or intimidated by Lassie.
Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it’s not all that important to me anymore.
It couldn’t sound like a dog, because K9 isn’t a dog, but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.
