Here's how you know that actor Stellan Skarsgard is European (besides, y'know, the name): instead of just reading the studio coverage of Dan Brown's novel Angels & Demons before accepting a role in the film it spawned, he actually read the book. The Dan Brown book. And he has a couple of words on the subject:
"I think Dan Brown is a terribly bad writer, but he has cliffhangers after every chapter which makes you continue reading," Skarsgard told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
"It's like eating peanuts at a bar. You don't like them, but you keep on eating them anyway," he said.
Sadly, Skarsgard's quote will likely gain more media traction than director Ron Howard's similar Peeps allegory. ("The cliffhangers are tasty, numerous, and not at all defamatory to the Catholic Church. Yum!")
