Q. Bruce Greenwood gave a remarkable portrayal of President Kennedy in Thirteen Days. Where did this guy come from, and how did he master JFK's
distinctive accent?
D. Dumas, Salt Lake City, Utah.
A. He came from Canada and did solid work in TV (St. Elsewhere) and films (Double Jeopardy) before landing his breakout role in Thirteen Days. "I
desperately wanted it but thought they'd made a mistake when I got the
call," Greenwood, 44, tells us. "To get JFK's accent and physical tics, I
listened to audiotapes and watched film clips every day." His next film is
Below, about a creature discovered by a sub during World War II. He had
considered Basic Instinct 2, but negotiations stalled. Maybe Sharon Stone
was scarier than that creature. |
