What nic said: Thank you. Since we don't have any access otherwise it's the best we can get.

And I was surprised about the connection to River Phoenix. I didn't know Jake's mother wrote Running on Empty. Well, I'm sure I read her name some time, but didn't remember it or draw any connection to Jake. I liked ROE. And I like River very much, so I found this bit pretty cool:

“My mom would write a scene and ask me, ‘Is this how a kid would talk?’ ” he recalls. “It was really fucking cool. Things like sitting in on rehearsals with River Phoenix and Martha Plimpton when I was that age—that was cool. I guess I was first exposed to the process when I was, what, 8?”

^^^ Coincidence cos I picked up on that too, also liking River Phoenix.  Unfortunately he was the first famous person I took a real interest in that I later heard had died, so it was quite major for me as a young girl.  Unfortunately there have been many others since.  I do like Joaquin Phoenix now, great actor esp in Gladiator and as Johnny Cash.  I would like to see him in a movie opposite Jake or Heath. 

Hmm, come to think of it, River Phoenix is about the only person I could consider as an alternative Jack.

Yes, I remember that day, too.

As Jack? Funny, I thought his performances/characters he played had some Ennis qualities to them: Mikey at most (from MOPI), but also Chris from SBM and to a much lesser extent some others.

nic:
Ah, I think I went for Jack first, cos I (as me) like River & I identify as Ennis in BBM therefore go for Jack on both accounts! But I see what you mean too.

RouxB:
Bought the mag-did not care for the article. Too much author and not nearly enough Jake.
