16 Magazine

16: What's your character in Mastermind like?

Vincent: I play Ozzie Paxton like Ozzie & Harriet. He's a real rebel and
he's always doing nutty things. One morning he drives his sister to school,
but what he doesn't know is the school's been taken over by thugs. He
sticks around and deals with the people, then goes from rebel to hero.

16: Who are your co-stars in the film?

Vincent: Patrick Stewart from Star Trek and Brenda Fricker, who won an
Oscar for My Left Foot. Patrick plays the villain, not like the stupid ones
in Home Alone. And Brenda plays the principal.

16: Was it scary working with such respected actors?

Vincent: It's hard to say.I started working on the movie nine months ago,
and I'm at the age where you go through a lot of changes in nine
months.Back then, I was little overwhelmed. Now, I just look at other
actors as my equals.

16: Did you learn anything while you were filming Alaska that you where
able to bring to Mastermind?

Vincent: Actually, the characters are kind of similar. I think I've learned
that I'm someone who can get a job done, who acts like a professional and
who doesn't screw around.

16: Do you still live in Minnesota?

Vincent: Yes. I'm still living at home. But I'm preparing to go to UCLA for
college soon. They have a great film program.

16: Moving to Los Angeles that's going to be quite the cultural shock!

Vincent: I know. The LA scene can be frightening thing. I was nervous about
college, because it would be so easy to fall into that partying trap. But I
don't think I ever could. The thing about a lot of people in LA, they
think they know a whole lot. But really, they're just confused and lost.
They're not rocks, they're mudslides. And I'm planning on building a more
solid foundation for myself.

16: What movies, books and music are you into lately?

Vincent: I'm still listening to Tool and Morphine. As far as movies, I just
watched Bob Roberts, starring Tim Robbins ,on video.And books, I'm getting
into this fantasy kick. I just finished reading Steppenwolf, by Herman
Hesse.

16: And we have to ask you, are you dating anyone?

Vincent: No

16:What would you say is the best part about being an actor?

Vincent: I think the true reward is being able to look at good work.And of
course, traveling.

16: Do you like to watch the movies you've made?

Vincent: Oh I didn't say that! I'm not exactly there yet!

Thanks again Corpse!
