Anson Mount

Was reluctant to play the role of "Ben Kimble" in Crossroads: hasta el final (2002) because he thought the movie, and the role, was too cheesy and lame. However, while working on the movie, Condenado (City by the Sea) (2002), co-star Robert De Niro encouraged Mount to take the part, being that DeNiro is a big Britney Spears fan. During breaks from filming "Sea", Mount and DeNiro would go over the script from the movie; Mount reading his lines and DeNiro reading Spears' lines.

About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.
