Personal Quote:

[on his hesitation to do Along Came a Spider (2001)] I had a philosophic aversion to it. I didn't want to do the same thing twice. Then I realized that my philosophical aversion was bullshit.

Trivia:

Broke his arm and shoulder when he flipped his car near his home of Charleston, Mississippi on August 3, 2008. See more »

Trademark:

[Narration] Often provides narration for his films, as either himself or the character he is playing. See more »
