From the Attila Press Kit:
(Thanks to Diane for the contribution!)
From Tim Curry: “It’s a pretty dynamic cast – and I think Gerry Butler is an extremely charismatic and enormously energetic and riveting actor. I think this will make him a star.”
From writer Robert Cochran on casting Gerard: “I think Gerry came in and just blew people away with the reading. He just had that roughness, the glint of insanity on the one hand, the charisma, the rage, the wildness. You know that was there with Attila. At the same time, there’s gotta be a guy who’s gonna fall in love…and Gerry brought that full range to the table.”
