Heres a quote about Clive from director Jeff Williams-
Q: Which criterias have you used to select actors?
Not trying to be glib, but first and foremost, they had to be able to act. They also needed a lot of imagination, because often they’d be playing off of an actor that was shot a year previous in a different state. Also they’d ALWAYS be in an animated room that they couldn’t see, touching buttons that weren’t there, and shooting a fake gun at a piece of gaffer’s tape stuck to a C-stand. Clive Robertson was hired for a plethora of reasons, he was the perfect choice. Other’s in the running were Emelio Estevez, Chris Lambert (the Highlander), and others. His experience as the lead character in a Canadian scifi TV series Starhunter was a major factor for me. I thought he’d take to the green screen like a pig to mud, but he was the biggest crybaby of all! “I feel like a f**ing lemming”, he’d cry out, “...I have no f-ing idea where I am!”. Liam Neeson was heard to lament he might never make a film again after Star Wars Episode I for the same reasons. It seems classically trained actors like to play off of things like tables, chairs, other actors... go figure. Clive was a total pro. We went overtime on every day of shooting, and had to keep him an extra day to tie up loose ends. His contract was iron clad, and he could have really put his foot down many times and never did. We had a stretch limo picking him up at the Bed & Breakfast we put him up in, and he asked “Man, don’t you have a car? Just come get me!” Then he got bored at the B&B and asked if he could just come stay at my house. He’s become a close, personal friend, and is truly the heart of Darkstar.
