Bruce Willis as Hartigan: ?He really is like the character. You read the character in the book, he?s like that. That?s why I thought of him. I thought, ?This is Bruce Willis.? Bruce Willis is that laconic cop, the retiring cop, the knight in shining armor, that you could just? I couldn?t think of anyone else to play him and he?s the first guy we went to, and Frank was just thrilled. He thought that he would be perfect.

He looked at a couple of minutes of it and said, ?I?m in.? I knew he loved film noirs and that he was perfect for that role. He fits right into it.?
Quentin Tarantino?s Role as Special Quest Director: ?He was great. I mean, originally I thought there?d be more shorter stories in this movie as well, when I first told him about it. And then it ended up being the longer ones. I told him, ?Well, you can direct one of the sequences?,? because Frank originally issued them in small issues. That?s why you always see these characters die every 10 minutes because he always wanted you to come back to the next comic book. So each book was made up of several smaller issues.

I had to basically do an issue, which was where Benicio and Clive are in the car together and Benicio?s got the gun barrel and he?s talking. That?s the one where Quentin?s idea was to have him speak in an outer voice where his voice-over was actually speaking out. He did something like that in ?Reservoir Dogs.? I thought, ?That?s such a great idea.? And Clive of course didn?t know he was going to do this on the day.

And on the day, Quentin didn?t think of it either. He goes, ?Wait a minute. All this monologue that you were going to do in voice-over later, you should do it on the set. Can you learn it real quick?? And Clive really impressed the hell out of Quentin. That?s still all he talks about is the fact that he went away for five minutes and came back and did the whole monologue there on the cuff, and he was trying to do an American accent so he was trying to figure that out as well ? right there on the day.

Quentin came in so prepared because Frank and I had been shooting already, this was our last episode, that he was afraid he?d be unprepared so he over-prepared. He made Frank and I look like bums. He came in with every shot and ?Oh, we?re going to use colored lights. They?ll fade black and white and it?ll be colored, flashing lights, and we?ll have him speak in an outer voice, and the camera will come to me now.? I was like, ?Wow, he really worked this out.? He?s like, ?I was so afraid I?d be unprepared that I over-prepared.? And we just blasted through it.

He had a blast doing it. The first shot I said, ?We have a car there that you can put the actors in, but truthfully we haven?t been using the car. We can?t quite get the angle. We?ve just been sitting them on an apple box ? a green apple box with a stirring wheel.? ?No, no. I?ll put them in there?I want to see them in there squeezed together and confined.? After one shot he?s like, ?Alright, get rid of the car.?

He got right into the ways of using the green screen and loved it. The rain, the car, the road ? nothing was there. But he got to just concentrate on just getting the performances. That was the beauty of the green screen for us. All of that other stuff that usually takes up the rigging and the time, and then it?s, ?Hurry, hurry and get the performance,? all that was gone so you?re just getting the performance. I think that?s why the performances were so great because that?s all they were concentrating on was just eye-to-eye, working with each other. And that?s how it went.?
