Brian revealed that the role of Agamemnon was “the only part I’ve ever pursued.”

“I’ve never pursued anything,” he shared. “I’ve always allowed it to fall out the way it fell out. I knew the part was available and I knew I was dead right for the role. I volunteered to fly myself to London to meet Wolfgang Petersen. It was a great cast.”

One highlight of his role was an opportunity to work with Brad.

“I remember at one point being agog at Brad,” he remembered. “He’d never been in costumes like that… Brad walked on set and my jaw was down because he was so stunningly beautiful. I’m straight but I thought, ‘Wow, my God! This guy is stunning.’ What chance does one have on the screen against this beautiful, beautiful man?”

Last year, Brian revealed he turned down a role in the movie due to his negative view of this famous actor.
