Point Break was one of those wonderful surprises.I hear it wasn't such an easy sell for Kathryn. Her saying,'No, really, he can be an action guy. No, really.' It was sucha leap of faith. Thank you, Kathryn! You changed my life!"said Reeves.

Henry's Crime star also thanked filmmaker,Bernado Bertolucci for casting him as Siddhartha in the film
Little Buddha, allowing him to show his depth and help shakepreconceptions of him as dumb, because of his slackercharacter in
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."When Bertolucci called, well, that was a nice day.Yes, indeed. I've had a couple of breaks, which is what we allneed. You know, we're just dust in the wind, after all," addedReeves.
The actor is considering reprising his role as Bill SPreston Esquire for a third instalment in the 'Bill and Ted'franchise, subject to a good script.
"We'll see what they come up with," said Reeves.
