I don't know why Gilliam thought of me. I was raised in the church."Gilliam is an impresario, captain, magician, a dictator (a nice one), a genius, and a man you'd want in the boat with you at the end of the world."Christopher Plummer stars in the movie is Dr. Parnassus and Tom also had praise for him.

He said: "Christopher Plummer is one of the greatest actors on earth. Mostly I watch and learn. He's a real movie star and a gentleman."
