Apparently, Ford is also a fan of the actors work.

It always makes me feel like a little boy.

Like Im sitting there with my hands across my lap, saying Yes sir, Thank you sir.'

Hes estranged from his family, hes lonely.

Hes not a happy person, says Shannon.

But he is a straight shooter.

Shannons career is filled with happenstance.

I didnt want to be a professional anything.

No one says that anymore.

Even Christensen softened his stance on Shannon over the years.

But he still finds it difficult to decline parts.

Its hard to say no to people.

It goes against an actors instincts.

For years and years and years you hope and pray that someone will give you an opportunity.

And then theres this third phase.

Its weird, I cant do everything everybody wants me to do.

But it goes against the mindset of yo give me a job.

As he works through all that, any talk of Oscars gets him a little squeamish.

Hes played the game before with Sam MendesRevolutionary Road, and he isnt too sure about a repeat performance.

Ive been down that road.
