	Internet Interviews One Network January 13, 2005

Bruce Greenwood was interviewed in Canada on the eve of the Racing Stripes release by One Network, a website dealing with Canadian entertainment. Although his interviewer was seen and heard, she was not identified. A transcript follows:

HOST:	So, would you say it was difficult working with the animals on the set?
BG:	Well, we had to be careful, as you know, from getting bitten. And I got bitten and I got kicked.
HOST:	Did you really?
BG:	Yeah, the baby, too. You know, you're petting away [demonstrates with his hand] or feeding them and you'll take the bottle away and bang! They'll have a grip on your arm or finger-
HOST:	Telling you what they want
BG:	Uh huh; Or just saying, 'I'm just tired of your company.'
HOST:	No More of you. So, did it put you behind schedule or were you OK with the shooting with the animals?
BG:	No, in fact, we've got a bunch of stuff on our gag reel of me being kicked around - basically, having the tar kicked out of me by a 3-month-old zebra. Put me down and kicked the living hell outta me.
HOST:	Oh, that's funny. That's a riot. I'd like to see that. [Shifting to new question] You play a lot of villains.
BG:	I do play a lot of villains, but I'm not playing villaiins right NOW - um, like Being Julia, I'm not a villain, with Annette Bening. I'm not a villain in World's Fastest Indian that I did with Anthony Hopkins. I'm not a villain in Capote, which I'm doing with Philip Seymour-Hoffman. And I'm doing another movie with Madeleine Stowe and I'm not a villain in that. So maybe things are changing....Maybe Nolan Walsh in Racing Stripes is the first of the good guys after all the bad guys.
HOST:	Well,you were kind of a good guy, but kind of stubborn, too.
BG:	Yeah, sure, sure, but stubborn and bad guy are not exactly bedmates.
HOST:	Being a woman, we just want what we want.
BG:	And that's not stubborn?
HOST:	[We want you to] Just be nice!
BG:	[Sitting up in amazement] He's not nice?
HOST:	He's stubborn! To his daughter!
BG:	He's scared for her! He doesn't want her to grow up! He wants to protect her! Cause her Mum was killed riding horses! Can you blame him?
HOST:	All right, I'll give you that. You were so nice.
BG:	Does he finally roll over? And let her blossom? Is that not the point of the movie?
HOST:	Like a good man does.
BG:	Yeah
HOST:	Yeah

Ends with a clip of the movie.
