As a
birthday tribute to Russell Crowe, I have delved into the archives to post two
interviews dating back to my days at KPRC-TV. In the first, I chat with the
Oscar-winning actor (before he actually won, you know, the Oscar) about working
with Denzel Washington and director Brett Leonard on the 1995 sci-fi thriller Virtuosity. In the second…
Well, before
the cameras started rolling, I jokingly complained about “all you Australian
actors coming over here and stealing jobs away from Americans.” He laughed —
but I think he took the remark semi-seriously, because this triggered a long
conversation about international cinema circa 1997. We had relatively little
time left to talk about the movie he was on the junket to promote — L.A. Confidential. (At the very end of
the clip, by the way, I owe up to my passion for Judy Davis. It was a different
time, and you could do such things.)
