What role do you play in “X-Men: The Last Stand”?

Bill Duke: General Trask is the head of Homeland Security. He’s the President’s right hand man and he has the responsibility of advising the president in terms of everything, every action.

Is that General Trask different from what’s in the comic books because Bolivar Trask is the creator of the Sentinels?

BD: I think to a certain extent, the character is. I hadn’t read all of the comic books. As a matter of fact, I hadn’t read the script that we shot. We weren’t allowed to do that. All you read was the scene that you had and you never saw the script at all.

So what attracted you to this film?

BD: I’m friend of Brett Ratner, who has hired me in the past for some other things (Red Dragon) and I wanted to work with him again, and number two, I wanted to work with Kelsey Grammer and all the other folks. I wanted to be in place where they were and see how they work.
