Yeah it was familiar certainly the crew uh is a, was Auckland’s crew and it’s a very well oiled machine, Marcia and I worked together on Mystic River but we really only had one tiny little scene uhm so you know I think we’ve sort of known each other and you know we actually had one really kind of strong emotional connection which was on September 12th uh 2001 uhm like we met at uh like near a triage center or something like that and just happen to run into each other and you know, if you see somebody that you know on that particular day its kind of you know you sort of make some kind of a connection that was really very very strong had a lot of resonance for me. (talks) and I think that uh you know one of the great challenges as an actor is to uh create history that you don’t have history with. You know we had to make it feel like we’d been married for whatever it is 20 years and and the and the we had been in love and it wasn’t working out and you know all those things are are sometimes uhm difficult and I think both of us were really committed to the fact uhm that we were really wanted it to look like a real marriage and uh that’s the thing that I think I’m most proud of uhm she’s you know phenomenal. Actress and uhm you know had a lot of really really difficult places to go and this film and uh I was happy to be there with her and and you know trying to be supportive of her process.

I guess I loved the idea of this moment that’s so short that these people come together and find each other in light of this tragedy. The idea that its just a heart beat that there lives all work and and then its gone but I found that very very moving. (talks) it is it is yeah and uh certainly for me it was a question of the fact that the guy he just cant face that you know he just cant face that.

Well to tell you the truth it was more question to me trying to get Allison to say yes to me she uh you know was, took a long time interms of the casting and really didn’t want to have people that uh she didn’t feel really comfortable with and really didn’t feel that they really got her vision that they didn’t have the same kind of passion that she did. So we have a lot of conversations and uh I was thrilled that I finally talked her into it.
