NewsBusters Interview with Kevin Farley of 'American Carol'

September 1st, 2008 2:52 PM

ST. PAUL, Minn.--There aren't many conservatives in Hollywood, but we talked to a few today at the Republican convention.

First up, actor Kevin Farley of the new David Zucker satire "An American Carol." Farley plays a Michael Moore-like anti-American documentarian set out to abolish the Fourth of July until he's visited by three spirits who convince him otherwise.

Farley tells NewsBusters editors Noel Sheppard and Matthew Sheffield about how he got involved in the project and his philosophy on the intersection of filmmaking and politics: "To me it's always about the project [not my political differences with the director or other actors].... To me I like to be about the material first.... When we're on the set, work is work, we're not here to do anything else."
