In an interview with People, it wasn't a surprise when Lillard's answer was none other than "Scream, because it changed my life forever." There's no denying that Scream brought back a new wave of slasher films in the late 90s that would cement a long-lasting film franchise and would become cult classics.
He explains that "at the time that the movie came out, Wes [Craven] hadn't had a hit in a little while. Slasher movies were sort of dead and gone for a moment." While Craven has been known for hits like The Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and more, his films before Scream weren't hits.

"Frankly, it was two TV actresses in the days when TV actresses didn't cross over to do films. I was like, 'Oh, this is a little horror movie. It'll be fun,'" he tells PEOPLE. "Little did I know in any capacity that A. it would change my life, and B. here we would be 30 years later still celebrating Ghostface in any way, shape or form."
Before Scream, Lillard played lesser-known roles that have since become cult classics, such as Serial Mom, Mad Love, and Hackers. The actor says reaching 30 years since the slasher movie's original release and its continued popularity is a "benchmark" when "so much of your life, you're just fighting to get your next job."
