Rufus:
I’m excited about stories that involve characters that are like real people, you know.  As soon as, as soon as people become stereotypes, then,
I mean, -- I do like action films and stuff, but they’re only really interesting to me when the characters aren’t obvious, you know - and - like Eric Stark, the character I’m playing for example, is, he’s a pretty bad guy in terms of what he does.  But he doesn’t come across - you know, it’s like, well I hope, I hope - as soon as you see him you don’t think - Ah, there’s the bad guy.

I thought it was really scary - I mean REALLY scary.  Just - and it needed to be done right, you know, and I think Chuck is - uh - there’s just the right amount of suspense and danger and hopefully a little bit of humor in it. But is scared me and I don’t often get scared by things that I read, so I liked the idea of that. I liked the idea of being one fo the scary ones.

He starts  - a foundation called The New Dawn - which is about getting kids off the street, off their habits, out of their addictions, be that gambling -
you know - gets them out of gangs, off drug habits, off alcoholism. Cleans them up and gives them a new positivity about life. So - this man could exist, and he does self-help videos. He does books. He’s on the cover of Time magazine. You see him on Chat shows. Everyone knows him - he’s a popular guy, and he has an enormous influence. And he’s trying to get hold of this child who was born on a specific date - with a great deal of power, a power for GOOD!  He wants to convert her over to his side, because in the great war between good and evil, evil is just about to start. He wants her to be on his side.
