00:00You've had so many iconic roles in so many iconic films.

00:04Now in your career, what is your vetting process like when you're choosing roles, and what

00:08about this role that intrigued you specifically?

00:11Ah, vetting.

00:14Well, sometimes you have to work, because now you're raising your family.

00:20But usually I'm just looking to do something different, something that challenges me in

00:24a new way, whether it be with a new character that I've never played, whether it be with

00:28a new kind of action that I've never done, or a director, or a co-star.

00:33There's usually something that makes me go, hmm, never done that before.

00:37Let me give that a try.

00:39And with this one, I just love the idea of a Jersey James Bond having been in a real

00:45James Bond movie.

00:46I liked the play on ... This is a working man's, a blue collar version of a James Bond

00:52movie.

00:53I loved those great movies of the past, like Lethal Weapon, where you have these buddies

00:59getting together, and there's comedy, but there's also a caper, and there's espionage.

01:04You know what I mean?

01:05So I loved that aspect of it.

01:06I was a big fan of moonlighting growing up, and so I loved to see couples, men and women,

01:11going at it.

01:12There's history there, and you're fighting it.

01:15And because I knew Mark since over 30 years, I've known Mark, so it was nice to be working

01:21with someone you know, someone you call a friend, and to explore a life on camera together

01:27with someone you know so well, I thought would be something I'd never done before.
