BALE INTERVIEWED IN DETAILS

Enjoy this telling excerpt from a great Q&A with "Dark Knight" actor Christian Bale from this months Details magazine. It's a great read since Bale is perhaps one of the most easygoing and laid back actors in Hollywood.

When was the last time you were mistaken for someone else?

BALE: Yesterday afternoon I was sitting somewhere and somebody started chatting. They said they were an agent, and they asked what I do, and I said, "I'm an actor." And they said, "Oh, how's that going for you?" I said, "I think it's all right." And they said, do I have an agent?

"Yes, I have an agent."

"Well, if you ever need any help getting work, give me a call."

So I said, "Thanks very much." I think the best one ever was when a casting director saw me in a hotel lobby and practically ran at me, holding a script: "Thank god I've finally found you! We have this movie that you're perfect for, and this is an amazing coincidence. The director and producer are not going to believe it, that I just bumped into you! We've been talking about how perfect you are for this role for so long! Finally, I met Christian Slater."

"Christian Bale."

"Excuse me?"

"I said, 'Christian Bale.'"

And she went, "Oh, I'm sorry," took the script, and walked away.
