It was much harder than I expected. We worked long days. We were in the desert a long time. And I had to wear not the greatest costumes. People have done harder things for money. But it wasn’t the breeze I thought it would be.

Virus is so bad that it’s shocking… That would be the all time piece of s**t…It’s just dreadful… That’s the only good reason to be in bad movies. Then when your friends have [bad] movies you can say ‘Ahhhh, I’ve got the best one.’ I’m bringing Virus.

The real Patch Adams on the film:
The movie’s received high ratings because it’s inspiring, and it’s about inspiring giving. I think it’s going to be an example of “giving” having its day. In a lot of movies, “violence” or the “ridiculous” has its day.

That was one of the hardest movies I think I ever did in my whole career. Every day was literally hell, because of the nature of the subject matter, dealing with death and being in hell literally.
Pleasantville
Walker plays Skip Martin in the 1998 film Pleasantville. In the film, twins David and Jennifer are magically transported to Pleasantville, the location of a black and white 1950’s sitcom. Walker’s character has a love interest with Jennifer.
As far as preparation, I was pretty new coming into it. I consider myself really lucky…I didn’t have much experience as an actor, was pretty much out of the loop. Gary Ross, he took me in, walked me through the project and from what I hear it turned out pretty good.
