“That's the thing there's a samurai I love that movie...”

“Traffic. Amazing film.”

“I love Orson Welles. He could do it all. He could direct and he was so young when he started out and he did it throughout his life. This was a little bit later in his career in 1975. He's someone who I think reinvented himself quite often but he was a renaissance man so F for Fake yeah that sounds good that's going in the back.”

“Blow-Up. Antonioni. Yeah this movie I watched I was doing a short film years ago and I was playing a photographer and the filmmaker had me watch Blow-Up and it's such a good one it's a classic.”

“Night of the Living Dead is arguably the reason I'm an actor period. When I was a kid I was obsessed with horror films particularly zombie films and Night of the Living Dead both the original and the remake with Tony Todd were a huge influence on me. It wasn't lost on me that it was a guy named George Romero. As a kid you didn't even see a lot of Spanish sounding names so it was exciting. I love zombies so this is going in the bag.”

“My Own Private Idaho. Talk about movies that made me want to be an actor this is one of them. I mean you know River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Gus Van Sant, Flea's in this movie they made it look so cool. I remember seeing My Own Private Idaho and it wasn't the typical kind of film that we got down there. I think it was a rental that me and my friends rented. They just made it look so cool I love this movie such an influence on me.”
