I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.

I've finally become an old guy.

I've always wanted to play Don Quixote in some way. It's a great role. I think the idealism of the man shows that hope that we have in the human breast to achieve something.

I wanted to be that cranky old guy that stands on his porch and yells at the neighborhood kids.

I loved Allan Dwan. He was a tough old guy.

He does a great job. He's still the same guy I knew when he was 18 years old at Southern Illinois. He's a hard-working guy. Very thorough, very sincere. He's a small-town guy who has a passion for coaching basketball.
