The local Swedish newspaper DN interviewed Simmons about "Whiplash" and I haven't got the energy to translate all of it. But highlights..people still yell "Yo, Oz!" at him. Not "yo, Vern?".
He's nicer than Fletcher. Well, duh.
He coddled his kids when raising them.
He's not a diva and has never worked with a director he didn't like.
The review reckons he has "an almost tangible dark charisma." Well, duh.
He'll be in the Terminator reboot.
Now get that Oscar, Vern.
