Friar Tuck

Matthew Modine turned down the 'Maverick' role played by Tom Cruise in Top Gun because he didn't like the cold-warrior politics in the film. (He visited East Berlin in 1984, and says he dicovered that Russian soldiers are just people. He says 'I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.') Mar 18 03, 8:55 AM
