The 61st Street star also discusses working with his wife, Angela Bassett, and the various acting methodologies of his 12 Angry Men costars: Courtney B. Vance didn’t spend his childhood dreaming of pursuing a career in acting, but as soon as he discovered that it was the right path for him to follow, he promptly made the most of it.
So I ran track my first year and…it wasn’t fun anymore. I ran track in high school and played football and basketball in high school, but it wasn’t fun anymore. And I wasn’t doing what I said I would do, which was meet people. So I finished my last hurdle at the end of my freshman year, came back my sophomore year and started doing shows, because I knew if I did a show, I’d meet a different group of people every time.
AVC: Given the impact you made with that episode, did that have a direct connection to how you ended up doing: You know, I don’t know. That’s a great question. Because it happened years later. I didn’t get intountil 2001, and Bud Greer was in the ’90s sometime, so… I don’t know! But it was good. I met a lot of wonderful people. Vince D’Onofrio and Katy Erbe and the rest of the cast and crew… We had a great time. I had five years, I did 105 episodes, so… it’s all good.
And then because we were in a small town… Holly Springs, Mississippi, which is about 10-15 miles from Ole Miss. Oxford, I believe. A lot of history down there. But it was blazing. 90-95 degrees, and the humidity. And then the film got delayed for some reason. Probably money. Probably had to raise that money. So I would just go to the gym in the morning and do all that kind of stuff. And then I remember that towards the end, there was the NBA finals… Everything’s about the NBA finals.
