Jamie Kennedy Talks On 'The Mask 2: Son Of Mask'

[Wednesday, December 15th, 2004]
Jamie Kennedy, talked to SciFi Wire about the upcoming The Mask sequel The Mask 2: Son of Mask.

He talked on how he did not enjoy the physical part of the role "I think my least favorite part was the running," Kennedy said. "I would run with this fake baby a lot, and I had to hold it, and I had to constantly run everywhere and hold these props. Part of the movie was an action movie, so some of it was hard to do."

In The Mask 2 Kennedy plays a cartoonist whose son is born with the magical powers of the Mask. The role required a number of different training programs to get him ready for the various action and comedy sequences in the script. "It was like five different courses I had to take," Kennedy said. ""I did boxing training for the whole boxing sequence. I had to do dance with a choreographer for, like, two weeks. Then I had to spend time with the dog so the dog would trust me. He would jump on me all of the time every day, for like an hour we would play. Driving training, so I could drive this special car. I had to do training with drawing with an artist, with a guy to make my pencil look real. It was a lot, but it was well worth it."
