Was this character based off of anyone in particular, and what is up Cinders oversized undies?!
Cinder isn’t actually based on anyone I know, but when I first met Michael Roberts, I knew he would be perfect. We shot most of his scenes in one weekend, and he was a great guy to have around. Someone threw out the idea of having him run around the whole movie wearing nothing but huge, oversized underwear. When he first put them on, they looked a little too clean so he took them off and dragged them through the mud a few times. Genius! I think we settled on the back story that while protecting the forest in the sixties, he lost his pants and had been running around without them ever since. Either way, Michael had no problem with the costume selection. We did get a few stares from people walking by while we were shooting some of his scenes though. Hahaha! I can’t imagine why? Now this is just a throwaway question, but who was your favorite character in “Hippies?” I think my favorite character in “Hippies” is Ian/”Roach.” Not just because of the stoner jokes – which I think are great –
