...just did that with Law and Order. I played a bigot who commits a murder. It was a darker role, and I actually enjoyed it. But once you are pegged as a comedian, you are going to be used as that. It's not a choice one makes as much as one the studio makes...
...Verhoeven: There's a big difference in that the tone of Soldier of Orange is less shadowy and dark than Black Book; the attitudes of the Dutch are clearly less positive than what we showed in Soldier of Orange in 1977.

Adomat said the male victim was much darker, but he added that the face had been badly damaged. Hembree also interviewed Bill Taylor, an employee at the crematorium where the bodies were cremated. He said he had seen the entire body of the female victim and described her as a young woman of Asian descent...
