- Yet again, another edition of “Renaissance Man†brings us new interviews and photos from the set of Jersey Girl! This time, Antony chats with Stephen Root (Greenie) and Mike Starr (Block). Check out a new shot of each in character from the film, and of course, the Q&A. Here’s a preview:
SR: We were kind of lucky. Kevin [Smith] saw Mike and I as a duo in his mind. Basically, this was the casting that he wanted. We went through all the machinations, and he ended up with the three guys that he wanted: George [Carlin], Mike, and myself. [We comprise] a little Greek chorus, as it were. But I also knew Kevin because I’m a big comic [book] guy.
MS: I had met Kevin before when he was doing these Coke commercials. I remember taking the subway down [to the audition], and I was sick as a dog. They said I had a nice ‘understated’ look. What they didn’t know was that I looked that way because I was really dehydrated and had a hundred and two degree temperature. [Laughs] So we wound up working on those [commercials], and had a great time working in Red Bank for a few days.
