To have an opportunity to make a movie like Cabin Fever, you have to get stuff thrown on you or you have to fall into a pit of water. It brings you that much closer to your mindset as a character. – Rider Strong
Cabin Fever was murder. There was a lot of psychological stress, like not knowing if we were going to finish the movie. The day we arrived to start rehearsals, our main investors pulled out. – Rider Strong
You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around. – Rider Strong
Maybe that’s the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot. – Rider Strong
There’s a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you’re an actor you’re somehow not a member of the crew. You’re somehow more special. I hate that. – Rider Strong
I don’t really want to be doing high budget, where they’ve got cranes and everything. That just sounds boring, having to do the same thing over and over again. – Rider Strong
Maybe that’s my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God. – Rider Strong
