Dave Davies

You played a character named Bondi who have – I've seen a little video of this.

Fortunately, there was no translation, so I don't know what you were saying.

But it's kind of like a Huckleberry Finn character, a guy with a straw hat with a lot of moxie.

It's more or less right.

And it was a hit, right?

You were well-known?

Yeah.

Okay.

So what did being famous at 16 – I assume this meant people would recognize you on the street and that kind of thing.

What effect did that have on you in your life?

Do you remember how they did that?

Right.

You were in Good Will Hunting, which was directed by Gus Van Sant.

This was the film set in Boston, written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

And I wanted to play a clip here.

The story people will remember is about these young friends in Boston who are working class guys.

They're kind of brawlers.

They like to drink at bars.

But one of them, the Matt Damon character, is a janitor in a college and is also a savant, brilliant at math and whatever.

You, Stellan Skarsgård, play a math professor who want to get this brilliant young man to work with you.
