This is the first time you've worked with a soccer team of kids! What was that like for you? W.F. Let's face it, it was fun and yet there were times when we had to get these kids to focus. 'Come on guys, let's come back from the candy bar table.' 'Guys, that's the eighth coke you've had today, let's get some work done!' There was a bit of that going on. But they were really professional. Having Robert Duvall play your dad and Super Bowl winning coach Mike Ditka by your side during this shoot must have been pretty cool. W.F. It was. What really surprised me is that those guys are really funny! Duvall should do way more comedies, man. The two of them were on fire and improvising their scenes all the time. It was an absolute blast watching them work. Growing up, was there anything your parents made you do that left you kicking and screaming? W.F. (laughs) Oh, I can think of a few things! I had this hot-pants suit that my mom used to make me wear and I remember pitting my mother and father against each other crying to dad saying, 'I don't want to wear it, please don't make me.' He'd always tell me I didn't have to wear it. Then mom would say, 'Where's that lovely suit I got for you?' Then I'd say, 'Dad told me I didn't have to wear it.' But she just made me put it back on. So yeah, that left me kicking and screaming quite a bit! Your character, Phil Weston, gets a
bit over zealous in the movie with his 10-year-old son's soccer team. It's
funny to watch how parents get when their kids play sports. While shooting the film you became a
dad yourself. I hope when it's time for your son to play sports you'll go
easy on him. This is definitely your year when it
comes to movies. I think you have something close to 700 hundreds film
coming out? Bewitched
is not really a remake of the TV series. Was that the appeal for you to do
it? Which "Darrin Stephens" did
you prefer, Dick Sargeant or Dick York?
