And then the other 25% was a collaboration of, Were not sure what this moment needs.
Goodman:I have no background in metal.
I didnt even know that they were called metal.
It has so much depth.
I think thats the other piece of it that gets dismissed so easily as superficial and nasty and dangerous.
Theres so much depth to the music, to the lyrics of these great bands who do this music.
So thats been my experience on the show.
How much of the role was tailored to Bruce once he came aboard?
And is he the reason the show is set in Michigan?
So much of the crew and myself, I grew up in Southeast Michigan.
It was a blast.
Hes a legend for a reason.
He came in and gave us a great performance.
Goodman:Both Matt and I are such huge fans of his.
Genre actors, they have to do two jobs.
They have to create their characters and then make them believable in a world that bends reality.
And thats his resume.
