On What Attracted Him to the Role: "I fell in love with the fact that it wasn’t a stereotypical character. He’s just a guy. He’s a nice guy and he’s a friend. I really liked that they didn’t care what he looked like, because I don’t look like the typical person you would expect to play that role. I just thought he was just a normal guy, that’s what I really liked about it."
On Bonding with Diane Lane: "We had a couple of rehearsal weeks so we bonded then. We liked each other so it was easy."
Brad Henke on Working with Writer/Director Gary David Goldberg: Some writer/directors are very possessive of their words. Henke said that wasn't the case with Goldberg. "He really lets you play around while you’re rehearsing. During the rehearsal period he’ll rewrite. But then when it’s time to shoot, he has a pretty good idea exactly how he wants it to be."
On Why Audiences Should Escape from the Big Summer Action Films and Catch This Romantic Comedy: "Because with all the big summer action films, it’s harder to relate to. That’s escaping and everything, but this is romantic. We can relate to the characters more. They’re not living in the future or having three heads or anything like that. It’s just people. And with the dating thing and with online dating, I think people can really relate to it."
On Online Dating: Henke said he's never tried it. "A friend of my wife’s met someone through online dating and they got married within six months and now they’re having a kid. I don’t know if I would recommend that, but they’re happy," said Henke.
On His Role in "Truth, Justice, and the American Way:" "I play Adrien Brody’s character’s ex-wife’s boyfriend. I get in the way of his family. He has a problem with the son and I’m trying to bond with the son, and he’s kind of jealous of me bonding with the him. It just wrapped."
Also in the Works: "I have a lot of things. The 'Untitled Niki Caro Project' [the movie is now known as 'North Country']. I play a character that I’m not allowed to talk about. It’s kind of pivotal in the story…" And yes, he had to sign an agreement not to say anything.
