But then years later, I went back to him, and no one was hiring him. And so I met with him. I said, okay, I'll meet with him. I was like, holy shit, he still has that charm and everything. So I put him in, gave him a small role in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and I kept writing him more scenes later. He was broke.

I mean, I gave him money to go buy his own suits because he always dressed to the nines in his movies. It's like, look, I'm all out of time costume designing this thing. I'll give you some money. Go buy your own clothes. You're always going to dress. He came with these Billy Martin suits and stuff.

I said, I'm going to put a bullet hole in the back of one digitally just so you can keep, because he wanted to keep the clothes so that you can keep the clothes. Thanks, brother. And then I put him in Sin City and it relaunched his career. But he was always a dream to work with. And I would hear from people later, oh, he's been difficult again. I was like, really? So he'd come back again.

No, again, 100% of the time, I've never had any difficulty with even the difficult exercise one. So it makes you think. And you know that because you have anybody you want on your show. But... It makes me wonder, what environment are you putting them in that makes them like that? Because somebody once said that about Redger Hauer. It was amazing. Hard to work with. Really? No, it wasn't at all.

Loved him in stuff. Blade Runner, The Hitcher. Bruce Willis, people would tell me it was difficult to work with. I was like, Bruce? I've worked with him four times. Let me tell you, this is what Bruce is like when he walks in the set. Hey, Hefe, what's going on, man? Hefe means boss. Does that sound like somebody who's difficult? That's going to be somebody who's just so happy.

One time I was doing this Kobe Bryant Nike commercial. I was going to be in with Kobe. I was directing it. And I was working out at the gym where Stallone works out, Gunnar Peterson's gym. And Bruce was there. And I was trying to get an actor to do a cameo in this commercial. I was shooting that weekend. I was working out because I was going to be on camera.

And so then I go to Bruce and I go, hey, what are you up to? And he goes, ah, I'm just looking for a job. And I said, well, are you a basketball fan? Because I'm shooting a Kobe Bryant commercial Saturday. Why don't you come by the set? It's downtown. You play this role. Bring a couple of suits because it's very last minute, but last minute replacement. Yeah, yeah, sure. I'd love to meet him.
