Death Is Not My Best

I Went To Acting School With Mario Van Peebles. For A Little While, He Was At The Same School. So He Asked Me If I Wanted To Do [ New Jack City]. He Said, "there's Not Really A Role. We'll Figure Something Out. But Would You Like To?" And I Was Like, "sure." 'cause He Said It Was Chris Rock And Ice T's First Movie.

It's Like They Talk About How American Actors Have The Method And English Actors Just Kind Of Switch Views Faster. And John [hurt] Is Telling Me The Story As He's Sitting In That Witness Chair, And They're Putting The Final Touches Of Makeup On. And He Goes, "hold On A Second," To Stop His Story So He Can Do The Take. And He Does This Incredible Take. They Go, "cut." And Then Immediately John Goes, "anyways, So Alec, He's Playing The Chess." And I'm Just Going, "holy Crap." You Get Whiplash From Those Kinds Of Quick Turns!

Sweets, You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried.

I Play A Garbage Man Who Moonlights As A Stand-up Comedian. Terrible.

Though [john] Hughes Did Provide For Us, If We Wanted, To Go To A Local High School And Try To Blend In. Michael [hall] And Molly [ringwald ] Already Had School To Go To With Their Tutors. Ally [sheedy] Wanted Nothing To Do With High School. She Said, "i Remember It Fine. I Don't Want To Go Back." Which Is Great. So Emilio [estevez] And I Went. And Emilio Lasted A Couple Hours Because People Recognized Him From The Outsiders That Had Already Been Out, So His Cover Was Blown.
