Let's keep this train going...

More "Unstoppable" stuff... CNN's I-report has a brief set of interviews with the cast, including a short segment with Chris Pine talking about the everyday folks behind the story in the movie.  Whenever I hear this guy talk, I get the impression that he really *does* think a lot, that he considers the stuff he says, and that he's not just waxing poetic for the camera.  If he is just playing up the intellectual ethics for the camera, then I'd be disappointed (impressed with his acting, but still disappointed), but I really think this is just the way Pine is.

Sean Astin strikes me the same way. He is very intelligent, articulate, and his conversation is thought provoking.

I met and chatted with Sean at Dragon*Con this summer... we talked for several minutes. He's done a lot of work with military folks, and yes, he's very thoughtful, articulate, and interesting. Also very sweet with a spontaneous sense of humor. He randomly reached over with his autograph sharpie and signed my lunch. I was dressed in my Frodo costume at the time, and he called me Frodo... was very funny. I was definitely impressed with the guy, and I'd love to meet him again.
