I didn't know how to go about preparing for the part of someone who can't remember who he is. The frustration angle is written in, but there's also this incredible passive state. Tom Berenger anglefrustrationincredible Change image and share on social
Rough Riders took 13 weeks to shoot, plus a week of training. The same guy trained us trained the cast in Platoon. Except, instead of radios, we used bugles to signal. Tom Berenger buglecastguy Change image and share on social
I wrote a script. I actually enjoyed writing it more than acting. It's about the Irish rebellion of 1920, which is a fascinating period and place for me. Tom Berenger actenjoyfascinate Change image and share on social
