After showing up in Park City for "The Good Dick," Tom Arnold (second from left) crossed the Atlantic for the Berlinale in support of a very serious role in Damien Harris' "Gardens of the Night." "Doing this role is tough," said Arnold in Berlin explaining his initial hesitation to take on a character that abuses children. "My agent and people around me told me 'no.' Then my publicist said, 'are you an actor or Tom Arnold?'" Arnold then revealed he had been abused as a child. "I just knew that there was candy at the end. I thought he was a peer, but he was 20 at the time. Then later, I found out he was a preacher living in Iowa..." Harris commented that the film took two years of research including visits to shelters in Hollywood, a destination for many homeless children. "Many kids are living on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," noted Arnold. "It's ironic because growing up in Iowa, it's not the impression you have of that place..."
