I don't remember "Bronco Billy," but there was one summer they shot "A Wedding" in Chicago and they were looking for extras to play caterers, waiters and waitresses and the like. So all these guys from [Chicago's famed theater company] Steppenwolf were waiters: Me and Dennis Franz, John Malkovich, Alan Wilder, Tim Evans — lots of people. And we had fun; it was a bonding summer with the Steppenwolf guys. We'd turn up at dawn every morning and just hang out and wait around in our outfits. Except for Malkovich — we were in this big old mansion in [the Chicago suburb of] Lake Forest and he would find a bedroom way out of the way and just sleep there all day. He didn't care about being in the background of any of the shots. As a matter of fact, I don't even know if anything I shot is in the movie.
