"You know, I'm out here seriously" "Trying to make a name for myself." "Howdy." "To me, it was a different way of panhandling." "I have to say "performing," you know, for money." "You know, and that's basically what I see it as." "Originally, I'm from Texas." "I was born and raised there." "Born in Austin, raised in Houston and Dallas," "And then lived in Waco" "The last few years I was in Texas." "Youngest of, you know, three kids," "An older brother, an older sister." "You know the whole scenario." "So yeah, kind of a rambunctious kid," "Let's just say," "Rebellious, and then..." "So it was kind of a rough childhood." "Batman, I just..." "I kind of fit in to it." "It just kind of fell in place more or less in '87." "I didn't really start to get into acting" "Till about '89." "And it was just extra work," "And of course, you need money to invest into, like, headshots" "And everything else." "And of course, at the time, I didn't have it." "So it took me..." "you know, it's an investment." "Acting is actually an investment." "Then everybody started telling me," ""you know, you look just like George Clooney,"" "And I couldn't figure out who George Clooney was," "So of course, er." "So that made it even worse for me as an actor," "Because, you know, now you're a look-alike." "I've actually got a black belt in tae kwon do," "Got one in tiger kung fu." "I studied ninjutsu for a bit," "And then of course, I know hand-to-hand" "From the special forces training." "So of course, I started doing look-alike things," "You know, trying to, you know, fit in somewhere." "And that's when I met superman, superman Chris." "And he'd been doing superman out in the boulevard" "For, God, 11 years." "And so he said, "you know, you should come out" "And work with me as George Clooney,"" "Of course, the doctor from er, and that's how I started out." "Well, I like Batman."

"(Sandra) if he would realize that getting angry doesn't change it," "He would have a better handle on his anger." "[engine revving]" "(Dennis) you being a superman fan, you should know this."

"Now, I'm not gonna forget it, and I'm not gonna leave it." "I don't care what you do or where you go..." "You're upset." "(Dennis) on her deathbed," "She still wanted me to get into the movie industry," "So I figured," ""well, it couldn't hurt anything." "It's done her pretty good and whatnot."" "So I figured, "what the heck?" "I'll give it a shot."" "(Pam Dennis) when she was..." "started doing the movies," "And she started making more money," "Then she just started being generous with her money," "You know, by sending grandma places that she wanted to do" "And having us girls come and spend time with her."

"he asked me what I wanted to do." "And I said, "I don't know." "You know, what do you want to do?"" "He was like, "well, do you want to go watch a movie?" "I was like, "no, we always go out to movies."" "He was like, "well, do you want to go to Vegas and get married?"" "And I said, "sure."" "He said, "are you serious?"" "I said, "yeah, you're not serious?"" "He said, "yeah."" "And so he said, "check, please."" "(Gehrt) hey, honey." "Hey." "Say something to our kids." "So you didn't think your dad was cool, eh?"

"[laughing]" "(Chris) so now, wait, when you marry me," "You get all the bad credit too." "Yes." "So if you..." "if we ever get divorced," "Then you get half of by bad credit" "And half of my debt." "So you've got to take that half." "It might be worth it." "So we're ready to rock." "What's the name of this place?" "(man) Steve's buy and sell." "Steve's buy and sell," "So if you ever want to get married... oh, yeah." "[laughs]" "All right, next step:" "Let's go get that license." "Okay, so it's official." "Hey, come here, you little shit."

"Eh, hey." "(McQueen) I was homeless for approximately four years." "It was actually something" "I would never push on anybody else," "Especially being homeless at a young age." "I still managed to do my auditions" "Because I was serious," "And I felt like my energy needed to give off because of my pain." "And like they always say in Hollywood," ""use that energy to bring out the best in you."" "I tell you, every audition that I managed to get to," "It was tough, because I had my bags with me," "You know, and I felt embarrassed," "Because everybody else," "You know, was either driving, you know, or dressed nice." "And my goal was not to let anybody else know I'm homeless" "Just by, you know, the clothes you wear." "I always managed to wake up early in the morning," "Go to McDonalds," "You know, use that as my bathroom," "But at the same time, you know, I would get, you know," "People, you know, looking at me." "You know, my hygiene wasn't all there at sometimes," "You know, 'cause I would walk places." "My worst experience was actually getting laughed at" "At an audition." "And I don't wish that upon anybody," "So it kind of hurt me." "Yo, this is it right here." "This is the old area." "I remember, late night, midnight," "Me coming to get some sleep, and I would head this way." "Right here is where Joe McQueen slept." "Right here." "Wow."

"Well, okay, now martial arts and stuff was..." "I kind of got thrown into it way back when." "I started working for a guy, a very rich guy," "And that's where I got into the martial arts," "Because he wanted body guards and stuff." "So that's when I got into the martial arts," "And then I got into boxing." "And then of course, he had his own stunt car thing," "So he put me as the driver." "That's how I became the driver, and actually," "I got into guns and all that because, you know," "Doing the bodyguarding back in Texas."
