"Crossroads" Mount was nominated for "Golden Raspberry" in the category "Worst Screen Couple". The partner in the film was Britney Spears. The actor did not want to take part in the filming of “Crossroads”, because he thought that the tape would be underworked and raw. But
Robert De Niro , with whom the young actor worked together during the filming process of the dramatic film “The Last Case of Lamarca”, recommended the actor to accept the offer.
In the pauses between filming, De Niro and Mount rehearsed the role of Anson, while De Niro read Spears' remarks. Since then, the actor had to play thirty-three roles on television and in movies.
