The 2000s
The Crooked E: The Unshredded Truth About Enron 2002
The rise and fall of the Enron company, as seen from the perspective of employee Brian Cruver, based on his book. Mike Farrell plays Kenneth Lay.
"Great fun playing Kenny-Boy-Lay, friend of both of the Presidents Bush. We even worked my face and body into a photo with Bush that was on the wall of the office. My friend Robert Greenwald, with whom I started Artists United to Win Without War, was the Exec. Producer. A good man."
The Clinic 2003
New veterinary school graduate Dr. Andrew McDonald encounters many challenges on his first day as an intern at a rural but busy veterinary hospital. Along with the beasts, there is legendary chief veterinarian Dr. Cyrus Gachet (Farrell), the cynical senior surgeon Dr. Kyle Southern, and a pretty young vet Dr. Emma Matthews.
"I never did see this one. It's always fun playing a curmudgeon. I personally thought the script was lacking, but people seemed to like the movie."
Locusts 2004
Dr. Maddy Rierdon (Lucy Lawless), an investigator for the Department of Agriculture, is the only person who can protect America from a deadly breed of bioengineered locusts.
"Never saw this one either, but it was truly silly. They couldn't find locusts (which didn't trouble me a lot), but tried with grasshoppers, which didn't work at all. We just faked it and they put the locusts in later by computer. The lead character, supposed to be my daughter, was played by Lucy Lawless, the young woman from New Zealand who played Xena. She was very sweet, but her NZ accent kept slipping through. I asked the director at one point how it made sense that a farmer from southern Indiana had a daughter with a New Zealand accent."
Hopefully more to add in the future
