...Well, Mark's a real thug. You know that, right? He had these people coming over, with names like Donkey, asking if they could take the VCR from his trailer and sell it. Mark's a funny guy. And a really serious actor. I mean, he's as serious as, maybe, De Niro. And Cube has so much charisma and confidence. Here's a story about Cube. I was sitting with him and he was eating, like, one of those Taco Bell soft tacos. And compulsively pushing out the filling, you know, the meat and guacamole and stuff, and only...
