Personal Quote:

[on making Hard Eight (1996) (aka "Hard Eight")] "Hard Eight" was like we billed somebody's rich uncle and were getting away with some crazy scheme out in the desert and had to finish before anyone figured out what happened. Gwyneth Paltrow was fairly new in the movie business and it was exciting, all of us giddy with getting to know each other. We knew we were doing a good, original movie. See more »

Trivia:

His first plane ride was to Thailand to film Casualties of War (1989). See more »
