I’m not their movie star. I’m their George Lucas. I’m the person creat- ing the saga through many, many pictures. But they’ll never tell you that. They’ll pretend that I’m just coming to the set and driving cars. They’re not going to acknowl- edge that I’m also the one who’s creating this full, intricate saga, and DMing it over the years. Anybody that’s on the in- side would tell you that. Hollywood can get ruth- less. I just shared some of the inside scoop, since I’ve known you for a long time. But that’s how Ma- fi a this is. KW: Thanks. You know who else was great in this movie? Tony Gonzalez, the former NFL star. VD: Wasn’t he good? He’d never acted before. This was his fi rst feature fi lm. You’re talking about one of the best football players in history, and he walks onto the set and just kills it! Tony Gonza- lez was incredible. He en- hanced the picture. He brought something to the table. His work eth- ic was dope! And when he wasn’t fi lming, you’d fi nd him standing around the set trying to learn every- thing he could. You could see what a winner he is, and why he was a winner in his fi eld. KW: I think he was even a star basketball player in college. VD: He was! When you have that dedication it shows. He did not hold anything back. I’m so proud of what he accom- plished. KW: The rest of the cast was good, too. VD: I’m proud of all of them. Hey, I’m gon- na share this text from my sister [Samantha Vincent] only with you, Kam, since I know you so damn long. She pro- duced this picture, and produces the Fast & Fu- rious franchise. Hold on a second, man... Here it is. She goes: “Seriously, in all my years working with you, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a uni- fi ed, hard-working cast. It’s literally the most hopeful, open, optimis- tic, present group of peo- ple ever.” That’s from my sister who’s always on the set and producing all these movies. Ain’t that hot? KW: Absolutely! Thanks for the exclu- sive, Vin. Harriet Paku- la-Teweles asks: With so many classic fi lms being redone, is there a remake you’d like to star in? VD: Oh my God! Just hearing you ask that makes me think of a bunch of remakes I’d love to do. It Happened One Night... On the Water- front’s is one of my all- time favorite fi lms. And there’s something to be said for “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” I’d love to put a multi-cultural spin on all those movies. KW: Ling-Ju Yen asks: What is your earliest childhood memory? VD: Well, the fi rst mov- ie I remember was a pic- ture called The Thief of Baghdad. It was directed by Michael Powell and starred an Indian ac- tor named Sabu. When I was a kid, we couldn’t aff ord to got to concerts or Broadway plays. That was way out of our price To place your ad, email advertising@theskanner.com or go to www.TheSkanner.com and click on the “Ads” menu league. But we could go to the movies. we’d go to 42nd Street, and share a $1.50 bowl of chicken lo mein before going to see a movie. Since we lived in Manhattan, we’d walk home aft erwards. And while walking home, my father would always break down the movie we just saw. He started doing this when I was just 5-years-old. that gave me the ability to be a producer. As you know, before I did “Saving Pri- vate Ryan,” I directed Multi-Facial and Strays. I would never have gotten “Private Ryan” if I hadn’t made those movies. And in some ways, I never stopped directing. KW: The Viola Davis question: What’s the big- gest diff erence between who you are at home as opposed to the person we see on the red carpet? VD: Wow! That’s a great question. When I’m at home, I’m just Dad- dy. I’m at peace, and not self-aware at all. On the red carpet, I’m a com- modity. I realize that, for that moment, I belong to the world, in a way. I try to maintain my truth and my individuality, but I’m mindful that anything I do or say could easily be misconstrued. They’re two very diff erent worlds. I don’t even know if I could articulate just how diff erent they are in one conversation.
