Powers Boothe
A Conversation with Powers Boothe
(Kelton Reed)

Q: Describe your character.
A: I thought this was a very intriguing and excellent part to play. Reed is very bright and has a very controlling personality. He's very experienced in the world, in the ways of big business and the government. I've been fortunate to meet certain very high-level government officials and there's a kind of intelligent ambiguity about them - like they know something you don't. My character possesses this, which I think makes him very interesting.

Q: What's the relationship between your character and Alec's character?
A: Reed is a mentor of Alec's character, Kane. Kane is really a noble experiment - an experiment that Reed hopes will work. Reed has a lot of admiration for Kane and nurtures him along, or so we are led believe.

Q: What about this movie will attract viewers?
A: This film is a thriller, but there's a lot of mystery about it. The characters are quite multi-layered. There's a lot of panache and style in the way this story uncovers the characters and their motivations. It's like a very good mystery novel.

Q: What was your experience working with Alec Baldwin?
A: I have wanted to work with Alec. He was very energetic about this project and has obviously been involved for some time. I'm sure it's grand for him to see it come to fruition. I had a lot of fun being involved and I hope the film works out well for everybody.
