IESB.net: Interview - Mike White is a GENTLEMEN BRONCO

At the film's press day, Mike White, who also plays the role of Dusty, a scraggly-haired member of the Purvis' church who takes his giant albino snake everywhere, talked about working with the Hesses and where he sees his own career going next.

Q: What was the snake like to work with? Was he hard to deal with?

Mike: The snake was a sweetheart. His name was peaches and he was a good snake. I didn't have any problem with it. Have you ever been snorkeling, when you're going along and it's all right and then, suddenly, you get the heebie jeebies and you're like, "What am I doing down here?" That's how it was with the snake. I'd be like, "What is going on?"

Q: How do you find chemistry with a snake?

Mike: Hours and hours were spent with that snake around my neck, and I think we built a real creative collaboration."

"Jared wanted Dusty to have no facial expressions, no intonation in his voice. So I have a real python on me, fake snake poop, Jennifer Coolidge trying to crack me up with all her weird shit, and Jared is going, 'Don’t make a face! Don't make a face!' It was like a Zen meditation exercise.'"
