I put that at the end of the letter.
Which is in the Michael Ondaatje book, which is also in the screenplay.
Yes.
Am I K in your book?
I think I must be.
What did that role do for your career?
Oh, it exploded after that.
I mean, I'd been, you know, a pretty good little soldier, you know, doing my Mission Impossible, doing these sort of smaller roles where, you know, you might get a bit of a pat on the back and then suddenly this monster role arrives.
Although Antti Minghella had had to fight for the film, hadn't he?
Because I think from what I understand... Oh, they didn't want me.
20th Century Fox were quibbling over the money and also were arguing that Demi Moore should be playing Catherine Clifton.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Were you aware of that at all?
Well, I knew they didn't want me.
What's interesting is you were Oscar nominated for that role.
You won huge acclaim, so many parts.
I think the Robert Redford film, The Horse Whisperer, was after that, wasn't it?

I mean, it was all there on offer, on a plate, but then you sort of made it clear that it wasn't for you.
