John Sayles: The Ball's In His Court.

Film director (Lone Star, Matewan, The Brother From Another Planet), actor, and screenwriter John Sayles in Denver, where he made his movie Silver City.

I spent a memorable day working as an extra on Silver City. I appear in the background of a scene that features my "co-stars" Danny Huston, Thora Birch, and Tim Roth. Sayles, a basketball enthusiast, was dressed like he was ready to play hoops as he directed, wearing tank-top and shorts.
