Those flipping over today’s copy of Variety will discover the above message of heartfelt gratitude on the back cover, a gracious display sure to help one up-and-coming performer chase his crazy dream of traveling all over Eastern Europe alongside one of cinema’s biggest movie stars, shooting the best straight-to-video action spectacles favorable Romanian tax codes will allow.
