Acti Quotes

(2002 interview, on working with the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)) The connections between us is family. Its just family. And its unshakable, you know. Because you look around and you see a great part of your active adult life. Great part of my active adult life was spent with the cast and crew of "Star Trek".

(on playing Rhett Butler) I discovered that Rhett was even harder to play than I had anticipated. With so much of Scarlett preceding his entrance, Rhett`s scenes were all climaxes. There was a chance to build up to Scarlett, but Rhett represented drama and action every time he appeared. He didn`t figure in any of the battle scenes, being a guy who hated war, amid he wasn`t in the toughest of the siege of Atlanta shots. What I was fighting for was to hold my own in the first half of the picture - which is all Vivien`s - because I felt that after the scene with the baby, Bonnie, Rhett could control the end of the film. That scene where Bonnie dies, and the scene where I strike Scarlett and she accidentally tumbles down stairs, thus losing her unborn child, were the two that worried me most.
