ShowBiz Ireland's Jason O'Callaghan with Gabriel Byrne

So has George Lucas come knocking on the door of the star of The Usual Suspects?

"Yes, they have been talking to me. But, that has been for years now. I swear I just say to them 'call me when they are ready.' Because they get into all this secrecy which is what they do. I don't know anything about it at the moment. These people who are into Star Wars keep saying to me 'your in the new Star Wars movie.'"

And what is the current situation with Star Wars?

"They have approached me and they are talking about it but nothing is definite yet. I think the way George Lucas works is not the usual way where they have a script then they offer you a role. I think the develop characters around particular people as far as I know. They have not said anything to me about what role I would play."

What have you been working on recently?

"I have been doing a picture with Ralph Fiennes in Canada with David Cronenberg the director, called Spider. It is a film about madness and murder."

And what is next for you?

"I go back to New York then finish this film in Toronto and then Christmas. Next year I have two projects, one in Australia and maybe one in London. I think that will be it for next year. I can't tell you which projects cause I haven't signed the contract so I can't."
