Sam Rockwell at comic-con 2009 for Iron Man 2 - slice.jpg

I am so happy I interviewed Sam Rockwell at this year's Sundance for "Moon" and "The Wining Season". It's because of those two interviews (and a random meeting at the Park City Einstein's Bagels) that Sam remembered who I was when I ran into him backstage at this year's Comic-Con. So even though I wasn't scheduled to talk with him about "Iron Man 2", he asked his publicist to give me some time and that's why you can watch an exclusive interview with this great actor.

During the interview we talked about the critical and commercial success of "Moon", what was making "Iron Man 2" like, what can fans expect in the movie, and he reveals he still uses an acting coach to help him prepare for each role. If you're a fan of this great actor, I promise you'll love the interview! Take a look after the jump:

Finally, a BIG thank you to Sam Rockwell for giving me some of his time after a long day at Comic-Con.
