Trivia
Was reluctant to play the role of "Ben Kimble" in Crossroads (2002)
because he thought the movie, and the role, was too cheesy and lame. However, while working on the movie, City by the Sea (2002), co-star
Robert De Niro encouraged Mount to take the part, being that DeNiro is a big Britney Spears fan. During breaks from filming "Sea", Mount and
DeNiro would go over the script from the movie; Mount reading his lines
and DeNiro reading Spears' lines.
Quotes
About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.
