Barry Pepper

If you're expecting an intellectual film, then you will be disappointed.

It was sort of his 'Brando' moment - his very 'method' moment. He just absorbed it and continued on.

I identify with the Clint Eastwoods and Harrison Fords. Those are my heroes.

They were so exhausted and seasick and all they could do was crawl up those beaches. And thousands of them lay dead in no time at all. It's unthinkable.

Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard.

Several of the actors I've had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as 'ultimate'. I guess the obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews.

Well, I'm Canadian. True, north, strong, and free.

I don't like to play the victim.

Westerns are very difficult to predict whether they'll reach an audience or not.

It's nice not to be too boring.
