I thought it odd that a main character talked so little, but there was no problem understanding him.Josephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-20514830929531995562013-09-30T17:46:31.223-04:002013-09-30T17:46:31.223-04:00I'll watch anything Russell is in.
Fun fact, ...I'll watch anything Russell is in.<br /><br />Fun fact, he is one of the last studio system trained actors (Disney) still working.<br /><br />So many good scenes and lines in that film.<br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-11811962377739411592013-09-30T13:49:56.588-04:002013-09-30T13:49:56.588-04:00I heard it, too.
