As expected, Simon Pegg adds humor to the latest “Mission: Impossible” film, “Ghost Protocol.” He was briefly seen in the third installment, but this time around, his character of Benji gets more exposure. And more laughs.

Directed by Brad Bird, a great storyteller, this new “Mission” accomplished an almost impossible mission – to make Tom Cruise cool again! This is the best “Mission: Impossible” yet! (Check out my interview with Brad Bird for "M:I 4" right here)

In this interview, we talked about:

• His attraction to joining the fourth installment
• What he liked about his character Benji, and why his character’s relationship with Ethan Hunt is very similar to his relationship with Cruise
• What did he think when he heard that Brad Bird is directing?
• How was Bird as a director?
• Working with Cruise

Have fun!
