While talking to Steve Zahn about his role as a tortured P.O.W. in the harrowing "Rescue Dawn," the last thing we expected was a good laugh, but we couldn't help ourselves when the veteran supporting actor told us how he got his job on the comedy "Strange Wilderness," a movie he described as "fun and dumb and as wrong as 'Saving Silverman.'"
It takes a special kind of actor to emerge from films like "Sahara" and "Saving Silverman" unscathed. Steve Zahn is that man. I recently got a chance to sit down with the always affable character actor on a quick publicity swing through New York (he makes his home on a farm in Kentucky).
