The film is awful (can't say that because I haven't seen it) I hated doing it, it was the wrong film but for the right reasons. I had two kids in college so I had to make a decision and it was probably poorly judged, but once you make that decision you have to follow through. It's a hard road, being in something you don't want to do, but I'm glad I did it for my family.

As for Fifa I thought the movie would be much more about the corruption of this guy at first. I don't know if he is going to go down, he seems to have survived everything that has been thrown at him. There doesn't seem to be any way you can get to them because of all those big corporations behind him. It looks the most promising though now though, it looks like he is a on a back foot now because he looks more exposed then he has ever been in the past.

2pac, I loved working with him. He wasn’t the first casting choice, there was someone else I won't say who dropped out. The director Vondie said: “This rap artist would be really good in this” and I knew nothing about that style of music so I said Just find me an actor for this. Quincy Jones came up to me and said you have to give 2pac a chance

I have a restaurant I like to go to in LA so we set up a meeting there. 2pac came in and sat down with me and proceeded to outline the character in such a detailed and extraordinary way that I just fell in love with him.

I had to get a little in his face sometimes since he was constantly writing and singing and producing so he was utterly exhausted so I told him that he had to give me his time now. The day that he was shot, he was on his way, he had seen the Tyson fight, he was supposed to do some additional voice work on the movie.

We had our fingers crossed that he would survive in the hospital, but it was the surgery that got him in the end. He was young and rash but also brilliant and I adored him.

His mom was a Black Panther back in the day and they couldn’t afford a funeral for him. The deal that he had done even though he was double platinum, he didn’t have a dime to show for it. So we were passing the hat around for his costs.

Yes, always. Steve Buscemi doesn't.

Well the plan was in season 4 the discussion was we would blow up the building, he had no office and we took away his money. So he ended up in one point moving in with Brendan's character and he had to work from scratch.

I think the idea is that if we stripped his finances away from him what would he be. He would be working much more on the street, and Kelly's character would be quite seriously his therapist since he was becoming much more erratic and wild.

When the powers at the top of fox brought the new guys on we didn’t think we stood much of a chance. I think you would have a lot more of the affair between him and Kelly, and the relationship between him and his daughter. We had Michael B Jordan come in for a few episodes and it was quite fun to work with him, that we hoped he would become a permanent character.

In the end I think it would have spiraled so hard out of control that we would have gotten canceled anyway.
