"CLINT HOWARD"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: The Terrifier franchise is known for its intense and gory style—what was it like stepping into that world?
Filmmaking is filmmaking. I enjoy working and working on T3 was a wonderful opportunity. Horror is a legit genre of storytelling. Lots of fans really appreciate it.
STANDISH: What was it like working with director Damien Leone and the rest of the cast on such a dark, horror-driven set?
Damien is really great dude and a great leader. He and Phil and the rest of the team made the experience first rate. As far as it being dark, it’s not like we were using real blood or anything!
STANDISH: Fans loved your role as Johnson in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. What do you remember most from filming that?
All the APs were great. Jay Roach is a great dude and he created a creative space in which to play. Good material is good material and it was all on the page.
STANDISH: Mike Myers is such a unique creative force—what was your experience collaborating with him on set?
Oddly enough, I didn’t meet Mike until after production. While I was doing my work he was getting in and out of makeup. He is an extremely talented comedic force.
STANDISH: The Austin Powers films are full of iconic comedic moments. Was there anything funny or unexpected that happened behind the scenes?
my scenes in the three films went off without a hitch. I probably was on the set for 45 minutesoon the first installment.
STANDISH: Would you be open to returning for another Austin Powers film if the franchise ever made another movie?
In a heartbeat
STANDISH: The makeup and set designs were legendary in the Grinch—how long did it take to get into character each day?
It was roughly three hours in hair/makep and wardrobe.
STANDISH: What was your favorite memory from working alongside Jim Carrey during that production?

STANDISH: Did you expect How the Grinch Stole Christmas to become such a lasting holiday classic?
We knew…
STANDISH: If you could give one piece of advice to aspiring actors, what would it be?

(Ron advice).
