Take a good hard look at Roger Kadar, the reclusive and distrusting guy who keeps Charleston’s lights on, on TNT’s Falling Skies; that’s a start turn if we ever

Following a conversation with MunchiePunch, Here is a collection of my favourite RSL quotes on the Subject of the movie “Driven”
“I haven’t even seen it,” the 32-year-old thesp sheepishly admits to TV Guide Online. “I mean, I [finished] it and it was like I got out of the car [and] pretended it never happened. I walked away from the accident. I didn’t even call the police.”
After a string of flops and direct-to-video releases (Ground Control, anyone?), Leonard felt Driven not for the paycheck, but for the exposure. “I wish it had been [for money],” he laughs. “I’d at least feel a little cleaner in my soul.
“I picked a film that I thought a lot of people would see because racing’s huge and a part that I thought I’d be pretty good in and could have fun in,” he adds. “I get to yell at Estella Warren and Kip Pardue!”
“But no, I really enjoyed playing that guy. And it was nice to be in a movie that came out [laughter]”
“I’ll tell you a weird story. I went to L.A. to do the audition for Driven. My part was a sports agent who’s very glib. It was about three or four pages of dialogue. So I memorized it a couple of days before the audition, and I went in that day dressed like I imagined this guy would dress-in a slick suit. I walk in, and there are all these guys in baggy shorts with those macrame-and-bead necklaces on, poring over their scripts, trying to learn their lines. And I was wondering, ‘What have these people been doing for the past week?’ I must admit that it was one time when I wasn’t surprised that I got the part.”
“It was the most calculated move I ever made. I called my agent and said, “I’ve done five movies in a row that didn’t come out.” I said, “I want something that gets distribution. I don’t give a shit what it is.”
“Then it was released, and one person saw it. I still don’t know what happened. I can say categorically it did nothing for me.”
“No one saw it. Including me.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/cacd8f320885089bef4f633df8ba63c9/tumblr_mo83prQeO51rx5o7jo1_500.jpg)

Robert Sean Leonard is a slightly different thing because I was very excited that he wanted to do it. But when we first conceived the character – to be really honest – we were looking for something that had a little bit of comedy relief. I would say that our prototype was closer to Jeff Goldblum –…
“He’s a little bit Chris Lloyd in ‘Back to the Future’ — just a little bit,” Leonard described. “He’s a bit of a misanthrope. He lives underground, he basically lights Charleston — he’s in charge of their electrical grid.”
“He really doesn’t care about Earth or the future of humanity. He might…
