Trivia

Was reluctant to play the role of "Ben Kimble" in Crossroads (2002) because he thought the movie, and the role, was too cheesy and lame. However, while working on the movie, City by the Sea (2002), co-star Robert De Niro encouraged Mount to take the part, being that DeNiro is a big Britney Spears fan. During breaks from filming "Sea", Mount and DeNiro would go over the script from the movie; Mount reading his lines and DeNiro reading Spears' lines.
