Bruce: I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man. (edit) Bruce: Everybody always wants to do the opposite of what they've been doing, but they've never allowed me to be the bad guy.

(edit) Bruce: I've remained very active in science fiction through Babylon 5, which, to me, I called 'The Son of Tron' because the computer effects were all influenced by Tron.

I remember going 'Wow!' We had some picture that Steven had made and some models; so we had an approximate idea as to what the world was gonna look like. (edit)
