Interviews
When you move on to a character like "a Terminator" what kind of development or research if any do you do?
Well on this one, and I don't know why I get embarrassed by it because it's kind of fun, you kind of feel like you're not doing much. The fun part that I'm finding is not that there's a glitch in his programming, but he's not particularly skilled sometimes at human behavior, maybe a little overly polite, or goes from stoic to: "Thank you! Thank you very much!" The recording's off, almost, and that kind of stuff is fun. But otherwise there is kind of an onus to live up to the Terminator brand -- you know, running without moving your face, fighting -- it's really kind of qualities that I'd like to have. If there's a job that needs to be done, do it now! No hesitation, no fear, no concern for your own well being; just such direction and focus. There's nothing wishy-washy about a Terminator, but there's a lot that's wishy-washy about Garret Dillahunt [laughs].[2]
