I was very lucky.

Heh.

Um, I got a call from my agent, saying that these directors, the Wachowskis, wanted to meet, and they sent me the script, and the script was absolutely amazing, and I went in to meet with them, and they showed me some artwork, of their vision, and an early version of "bullet time," and it was very exciting and inspiring, and we looked at each other, we ended up hanging out in a parking lot outside the offices just talking and riffing, and we basically just kinda shook hands - they told me they wanted me to train for 4 months prior to filming, and I got a big grin on my face and said: "Yes."

That's how it happened.

You know, I just cough ...I just recently started to hear about that. I didn't grow up reading the character of Dr. Strange, but the past few days, the people have been telling me about the character, and I have to call my Agent!

I love Constantine, too. I loved playing John Constantine. I wish there was a sequel. With me in it.

No, but energy cannot be created or destroyed they say.

For a long time in Los Angeles when I first moved there, when I was 20 years old, it was such a new world and so I saw some guys at a gas station once who had hockey equipment in their car, and I asked them what they were doing, and they said they were playing street hockey, so I asked them if I could play. So I became involved in a street hockey game that took place every weekend for over 10 years, every weekend, red versus black. We would take holidays off and sometimes summers, but the game was going on for over 10 years. That was cool to be a part of. It was a cool thing to have happen. Made some friends.

HMMMM.

Heheh!

Uh, let's see. The biggest movie star I'm friends with would be... uh... Sandra Bullock! Yeah, through the years we kinda get together, have a dinner, catch up, see how it's going.

Growing up as a kid, my favorite superhero was... WOLVERINE!

Yeah, I guess my security wasn't good enough... it's better now!

And, uh, it was really scary. The first time was at like 4 in the morning on a Saturday, and it was scary.

I do like chocolate milk. But it has to be cold. You know? It has to be cold.

Someone asked my favorite breakfast:

A typical Reeves breakfast is:

Granola (with milk) and a Cappuccino.

OR

Leftovers - heheh! Um... and sometimes, I skip that meal. You know, they recently found out it might NOT be the most important meal of the day. And if I skip the meal, then I'll just have a glass of apple juice and go.
