“I almost didn’t get the part. I got into a fight at a party in LA with three guys and broke a guy’s nose. It was a few of Madonna’s people, so she called the cops on me. Told everyone this story. Penny Marshall, the producer called me saying, ‘What did you do?’, but then she was like,’Forget that, I’m giving you the part anyway,” contactmusic.com quoted the actor.
