 On
Robert Preston, Nick Castle states: ":Robert Preston was everyone's
choice for the part of Centauri since the film's inception."
Preston, whose acting career spans the last 46 years with
vitality and versatility, describes his reasons for accepting
the role: "I was looking for a change of pace from my last
pictures. What attracted me most about Centauri was
his character, an outrageous con-man from outer space, an
alien rascal in human disguise who relishes in his scalawagging
and masquerading." "I've
never been in a picture of this genre before," continues Preston.
"In fact, in one scene I even get the chance to take off my
human face and expose my alien being. But what really
excites me most about 'The Last Starfighter' is that it's
given me the chance to play an entirely different audience
than I have in my previous pictures."
On
the subject of "The Last Starfighter," Robert Preston quickly
quips: "What really excites me most about this film is that
I'm going to be playing to an entirely new audience that perhaps
has never seen me before. That's what being an actor
is all about." |
