“I remember liking the script. I remember in the end, [Affleck] died in a way that it still stays with me. It’s like he’s sitting on the beach, he’s bleeding out and the sand just comes up and buries him… It was a nice image that they did not use in the movie at all,” he revealed.

He also wanted a role in 2003′s Dumber and Dumber: When Harry Met Lloyd.
