#Quote
1You know, there's a lot of scum in this business - and they may outnumber the good people. But I've met some of the most *incredible* people whom I wouldn't have otherwise known if I *wasn't* in this business. Warren [Oates] was one of 'em. He was one of the nicest, sweetest people you'd ever want to meet in your life.
2Personally, I prefer movies about people and life, so when I read scripts that's what I look for. I look to have a gut instinct about the character I play.
3Acting to me has always been like a battlefield. An actor has a choice. He can stay back with the generals and be safe, or he can be up in the front lines. I like being up in the front lines.
#Fact
1Father of Eden Railsback.
2Father of Beau Railsback.
3When he received a call to come to Los Angeles to read for the part of Charles Manson in the TV movie Helter Skelter (1976), he auditioned by reading the speech Manson gave in the jury-less courtroom. Three days later he had the role.
4Father of Lalesha Railsback.
5The son of a Texas oil man.
6Prepared himself to portray Charles Manson in Helter Skelter (1976) by locking himself in a closet for two hours every day.
7Played two real life high level criminals: Ed Gein (Ed Gein (2000)) and Charles Manson (Helter Skelter (1976)).
