re: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
"I was so young in the business. The only good thing out of that experience was watching this giant movie being made. I went up to Spielberg and said, 'Steven here's my idea: when the little guys come down, I take my coat and throw it over one of their heads and I run into one of those Porta Potties, and i capture one of those sons of bitches.' And he looked at me like, Are you out of your mind? I offended him, but that was like what a street kid in New York would do. He didn't even wanna talk to me after that. I'm in it for a 30th of a second."

re: PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING (chronicle of a career foretold)
"It was an early movie for everybody - not the first film Jim was ready to do but the first budget he could get. Cameron was the kind of guy who would be in the motel room down in Jamaica making rubber fish while everyone else was out partying. He felt it was his only chance - life or death - so he was obsessed. And I was obsessed as an actor about my part so we hit it off. I was playing a white Jamaican guy. It was a very unbalanced movie , Jim didn't write it. You do your best, no matter what the budget or circumstances. What else are you gonna do?

re: NEAR DARK
To help get into character before filming, Henriksen rented a car and drove down to the location in Arizona, picking up hitchers along the way.
"Stayed in character and would say things like 'Roll me a cigarette,' and give him a tobacco pouch. The guy would roll one with great difficulty, and I would say, 'You call that a cigarette?' and then throw it out the window. Or, I would tell him to turn the radio on, then say, 'What kind of stupid music is that - turn it off'...
"I wanted to see how much you can subtly say to somebody before they start getting scared." He sighs, "You know after three hours, this huge guy, who could probably have crushed my head, was begging to get out of the car. I felt so guilty for what I had done that I gave him 30 bucks, all the money I had in my pocket."
gear I love you for this thread.
