Mr. 3000 (2004)
In this sports comedy, Mac plays a baseball legend who comes out of retirement after he learns he's three hits short of 3000.

"It gave me a chance to show people that I could play baseball. The real ballplayers said, 'damn, he can play.' And that was important to me because I played semi-pro ball and wanted it to look realistic. At the premiere, Willie Mays came up to me and said, 'You look like a ball player.' I was like, oh man."

Ocean's Twelve (2004)
While making this blockbuster sequel, Mac learned the hard way that it's wise to avoid George Clooney when you're seriously ill. Read the review.

"On the last day of shooting, I caught double pneumonia. I didn't tell anybody, so when George Clooney came on the set, he kept squirting me with a water pistol. I couldn't breathe but I just kept doing my damn lines. [We were doing the scene] where we had to climb through the ventilator to set a timer and I was using the long cord for oxygen because we were enclosed. And George kept stepping on it and closing my line so I couldn't get air. George is a clown, but I am too, so no holds barred."

Guess Who (2005)
Mac may not have gotten a story credit but he helped provide one of the funniest bits in this reverse remake of 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Click here to read a review.

"One time, my daughter and her boyfriend came home from college in the middle of a snowstorm. His grandmother lived like 70 miles away from our house so my wife, without talking to me, told him that he could spend the night. I put my pajamas on, went in the guestroom and said to him, 'Everything good?' He said, 'Yeah.' He said his prayers, and I said my mine. And then I climbed into bed with him. He looked at me like I was crazy. I told the [Guess Who filmmakers] this story and they put it in there [for me and costar Ashton Kutcher]."
