You worked with Jonathan Lipnicki as well, who's a wonderful child actor, doesn't appear to have grown an inch since he appeared in Jerry Maquire several years ago.
That's a camera trick, there is a little trench, he's actually about my height.
(Laughs)
But they dig a trench... I'm not even sure of his age now, as the months have flown by, but he's small but perfectly formed and he's a most delightful boy. He's sweet.
Small but perfectly formed brings me rather neatly to Michael J Fox, who supplied the voice for Stuart Little. Was he on set, did you work with him at all?
We rehearsed with him. He wasn't there when we were shooting, because he's got this big... sitcom, "Spin City", which he was off making. But we had some rehearsal with him, he's a very nice man, and very funny. He did it incredibly well.
