From an interview with Renny Harlin - the director of "12 Rounds" - Click Here


"You have a history of casting actors as villains who many people wouldn’t have thought of. Craig Bierko in Long Kiss Goodnight, William Sadler in Die Hard 2. A lot of people wouldn’t have thought of Aiden Gillen for the bad guy.

Now you mention it, John Lithgow in Cliffhanger too. I must be a genius [laughs]. But that’s very true. Craig Bierko was a comedian when he came to read. I try to go for something interesting and in this case, trying to find someone who would be physically equal to John would have been almost impossible. So I wanted to find somebody who you would feel that his power is his intellect.

So I saw a lot of people, and when I met with Aiden I just immediately felt that this guy was so charming and smart without having to do the overly “ha ha ha, I’m going to conquer the world and steal a million dollars” kind of stuff."

Go to about the half-way mark of this interview - and listen to the answer of the "Who's gonna get the top bunk on the American Idol tour bus?" question.... THUD!!!

As if it weren't blatantly apparent that I adore and LOVE Adam - THIS would make the deal...lol.

I'm grinning way too widely...
