With some truly commendable stand-out performances in films like The Green Mile, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Matchstick Men, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"and of course Galaxy Quest — Sam Rockwell is definitely one of the best in the business.
He came by the MTV studios here in Times Square this week, to talk to us about his latest film Joshua. A horror/thriller film about a young Manhattan family who are torn apart by the increasingly psychotic behavior of their mentally disturbed son Joshua...and when I say psychotic — I mean PSYCHOTIC.
Yes we've seen Damien from The Omen, Henry from The Good Son and Rhoda from The Bad Seed — but now there's an even more realistic and disturbing kid: Joshua, a 9-year-old child prodigy. prodigy. And a prodigy he is. I mean, how many of us can play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on the piano and murder human beings before reaching adolescence? If you can — don't answer that question!
