FROM FATHER TO HUBBY

by Louis B. Hobson

HOLLYWOOD: Canadian actor Bruce Greenwood was faced with quite a dilemma when he was hired to play Ashley Judd's scheming husband in the thriller Double Jeopardy, which opens in theatres on Friday.

"I'd played Ashley's father Larry Strickland in Love Can Build a Bridge, the mini-series about her family. I wanted to share that wonderful irony with her, but I also wanted Ashley to be able to see me as her lover," recalls Greenwood.

"I didn't have to obsess long. The moment we were introduced, Ashley said: 'You played my father.' I was off the hook and it certainly didn't seem to bother her."

Double Jeopardy also stars Tommy Lee Jones.

Greenwood admits he'd heard "all the horror stories about Tommy Lee, but he proved to be really easy- going on the movie.

"I never saw a hint of a temper tantrum or moodiness."

Greenwood is currently filming Kevin Costner's Cuban Missile Crisis movie 13 Days, in which he plays John F. Kennedy.

"I never thought I looked like JFK, but (director) Roger Donaldson certainly does because when I posed the question he said I was an obvious choice."
