Bruce Boxleitner
Well, the idea of working with Jeff again, and finding out where these characters went after all these years, and seeing what happened to them, was what intrigued me. When I first read the script, I was just thrilled about it because I had no idea that Alan Bradley had become such a lost soul. It was such a great take on these characters that was so absolutely real. I was just thrilled by it. -- Bruce Boxleitner interviewed at SDCC 2010http://www.collider.com/2010/07/28/comic-con-tron-legacy-interview-jeff-bridges-bruce-boxleitner-garrett-hedlund-olivia-wilde-michael-sheen/
