“I'll go on making films until I make one that pleases me from the first to the last frame. Then I'll quit.” Quote by Michelangelo Antonioni
“When I was a kid I was a big fan of the Universal Monsters movies of the 1930's and the 1940's. I loved movies like The Wolfman (1941) and Dracula (1931). I really wanted to be in those movies. Eventually I started nagging my parents about it, and it turned from, "I wanna be in a monster movie! I wanna be in a monster movie!" to "I just wanna be in a movie." So I think my parents just thought that if they took me to one audition I'd see how boring it was and I wouldn't wanna do it. But I ended up getting the part, and I got a bunch of roles after that as well.” IfsThinkingWellsBigsKidsWantedParentRolesFansUniversalBoringMonstersBunchAuditions1930sNaggingMonster Movie Author:Robbie Rist
