So even with all the new characters, they still give you a lot to do with Dr. Doom?

JM: Yeah I had quite a lot to do actually, because he went through all these transformations, you know, different to what happens in the comic or the cartoon but we kinda just had to make it applicable for some reason, I don’t know.

Have you always been a fan of comic books?

JM: I have, yeah. Fantastic Four in particular, yeah

What did you like about it?

JM: I don’t know, I think maybe I just liked the fact that there were four people with different types of powers.  But I was big fan of other stuff too.  I was a big fan of Batman and Spiderman and Superman but Fantastic Four, in particular, I got into it actually with the cartoons.  We used to watch the cartoons every morning, and I don’t know maybe its team work, and I don’t know it was just good.

The director and Sandy would talk in German and you’d go what is this schnitzel talking stuff? Did they do that a lot? Did they talk in English?

JM: They did that a lot, whenever they felt like they wanted to leave me out of something they would talk German.  It was very upsetting and it was very annoying, so I came up with this whole character it was ‘Hitler’s coiffeur’  that I started to become so I became Hitler’s coiffeur and I came up with this German accent and I was commenting on Hitler’s mustache and how he should cut it a little shorter, a little tighter.

Can you give an impression?

JM: No, we're going to make a movie about Hitler’s coiffeur.

I have to ask a question about, this movie brought to mind a movie, a temporal romantic movie ANOTHER DAY you made a few years ago with Shannon Doherty.  Any memories of making that particular film?

JM: Making that film? Well, that was good fun. Shooting it, I didn’t think about it at all in regards to what I was making in this movie. I thought they were very separate things obviously, but that was an opportunity for me to play a very different character, I’m not sure if you saw it or not, but it was a very kind of quiet, sweet guy, and I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to play a guy like that before, and I just enjoyed shooting. I mean, I like going to different places like this movie went to Louisiana and shot in Shreveport. I always love to absorb myself in the culture of the place you get to go to and I did that in that movie, we shot in Winnipeg in Canada.  It’s a great place, weird place though I mean, it’s the weirdest place on earth, I mean its like so cold for nine months of the year, right, that nobody goes out, you can't go out. No, you can’t. I swear to god your eyeballs freeze over. That was the thing on the news, “Don’t go out your eyeballs will freeze over.” And then when it gets warm, its like they have those worms that drop out of the sky. Right? I mean, worms dropping out of the sky. I mean weird, the weirdest thing ever. And literally you’re coming out and your car will be covered in these worms about this big and then they have mosquitoes the size of cats. So everybody’s house has like got this kind mesh stinger out going, “Don’t go out, no, no, no! Mosquitoes are out there!”

Compared other actresses that you’ve worked with can you talk about working with Sandra bullock, what it was like, they dynamics?

JM: I wouldn’t want to compare it to anybody but just working with her is… you know, I’ve been as big a Sandy fan as everybody else has for however long we've known her for. I’ve admired her work from a distance for a long time and like other actors that I’ve admired, I'd love to have had the opportunity to work with her and I got this opportunity. This was a great movie for me because it’s a little different, I’ve been working on television for a long time and it’s also different from Fantastic Four stuff and whatever else.  We went down there three weeks early and we just hashed out everything, me, the director, Sandy, the writer, all just sat around the table and talked for three weeks about what we thought was the way to deal with this movie.  What were our thoughts and feelings about it , what we thought about our characters, each others characters and so everything just got laid out on the table and so I really got to work with her in a very kind of deep and thoughtful way. We would go in and do scenes and me and Mennan and Sandy would sit around and talk for an hour and a half, the crew would go off and eat and do whatever they wanted to, and we would talk for an hour and half or two hours about what we thought the scene was about. We got that luxury.  Mennan gave us that luxury, and then Sandy and I would consistently talk about things. Whenever we thought about something, call each other or just talk about it or whatever so you really got to…..we both do what we do because love it. So its kind of one of the most important things in your life, aside from your children, your family and your really good friends. So to work with somebody like that in that kind of capacity is really kind of getting to know them in a very significant way. And then on top of that she’s just an absolutely extraordinary person.

What were your expectations Nip Tuck when it started?

JM: I didn’t know if it would go past the pilot. I knew it would have a different type of support system because it was on FX than it would anywhere else you know unless it was HBO or something like that, but you know you just don’t know. I thought it was pretty out there…

It’s on the main network in Canada,

JM: Oh is it? What is it on?

CTV.

JM: Do they cut it down for that or do you just have different regulations?

No. They do The Sopranos on there.

JM: Oh, so it's obviously a different thing there, but no, I didn’t know. All I felt like it was a pretty great character to play, and what it felt like was a was a well written pilot, and I knew that I was gonna have commitment for only six months a year if it did actually go into a series, which gave me freedom to do other things, which is what we were talking about before. I really was a fan of The Shield and the way that they kind of delivered that show, and executed that show and I felt like if there was any place to be, it was kind of the right place.

How cool is it to have Galactus in the movie?

JM: A-ha! I can't go there.

Ioan already did.

JM: Doesn't mean I am.
