"I remember Kiefer [Sutherland] grabs River and throws him to the ground, holding a cigarette in his face. But Kiefer wasn't really getting the front of that cigarette really close to River's face, so River said, 'Just put it right in there. I trust you... I want to use the fear of it,'" Wheaton recalled. "I remember thinking that was like a really mature and bold and risky thing to do as an actor. [...] There was something really peaceful about him. He exuded this wisdom."
