Confession: The same role I did in 28 Days, with Sandra Bullock—I did it in Transformers. His name was Dutch, but I said: He's the same guy. Not only does he kind of seem like the same guy—he's the absolute same guy. He's changed his name. He went through rehab, and he got into the armed forces, he met up with Agent Simmons. He became a contract killer, he's overthrown governments in the third world. And then he got burned out and decided the only thing that he could do with his life was to devote himself to working with Agent Simmons, who's played by John Turturro. So there's a line in that movie where there's one scene that I got to do. It was a fun scene, where we're in a Russian mafia bar-club-hangout, and they pull guns, and I lose it and I pull a bunch of guns. I punch a woman. I knock people out and I escalate the violence extremely, and then I have John—Agent Simmons—saying, "Down, Dutch. Down, Dutch. Breathe, breathe." And I stop and say [in Dutch's voice]: "Oh my God. That's the old me." And that was an improv commenting on the fact that it's the old me, who had gone through this whole killing people and contract killer world because before, I was Gerhardt. Anyway, it's a long way to say I've repeated myself, but I hope not too much.
