Stephen Louis Grush


Spectacular performance as the damaged Jr. So nuanced and instinctive. Really, he is the star of this film and I don't think Ryan Phillippe, who is nominally the lead, as well as wrote and directed it, would disagree.

In the interview with Ryan I was hoping that he'd say how he picked his co-stars.

Well, I think he has. He said that both Stephen and Ian Barford, who played Mike, are experienced stage actors who "you know would be prepared." He had 9 days to get it done, so that was important.

Yeh, he kind of stole the show from Phillipe. But as Phillipe directed, I'm sure he directed it that way.

they way he said, "I put a roofie in your stew...." just threw me...I didn't expect that at all and its delivery was kind of haunting.

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...
