ZAHN AMAZED BY HERZOG'S BIZARRE QUESTION

Actor STEVE ZAHN was astounded when legendary director WERNER HERZOG wanted to know what he liked to eat before casting him in new movie RESCUE DAWN. Zahn admits his career "was in a hole" at the time, and that he was anxious to give the right answer to Herzog's unexpected question. He says, "I remember my agent saying, 'He wants to know what you like to eat.' I was like, 'Wow. How interesting. I should say the right thing.' "Then he called me: 'Do you like steak? Come over to my house. I'm going to cook you a steak.' "I was doing Daddy Day Care. I was in a hole."
