Movie Gone

You've talked about overcoming fear of doing talk shows, but do you have a fear of being bound and gagged like you are in Gone? Even though you’re an actor and this wasn’t real, they placed you in the bottom of a pit, they put masking tape on you, they tied your hands. Psychologically, what’s going through your head at that moment? You know there are people two feet away so you can get up at any time...

"You have to kind of trick yourself into being afraid of something. In circumstances like that I always kind of trick myself into feeling a certain way, feeling something very similar in something that would really trigger me. When I was at the bottom of the hole, I am a little bit claustrophobic so I made the hole even deeper in my head and I freaked out. That was really me freaking out."

But when they put on the masking tape and they tie your hands, is it difficult for you -- even though it is pretend?

"Yeah. It’s very physical, so yeah it does have an impact. You do absorb a little bit of the fear of the character a little bit."
