ComingSoon spoke to A Man in Full lead Jeff Daniels about the new limited Netflix series, which is out May 2.
ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with A Man in Full star Jeff Daniels about the new Netflix series, which is based on the New York Times bestselling novel by the late Tom Wolfe. Daniels spoke about showing his comedy and dramatic acting chops in the role, plus discussed the show’s depiction of masculinity. The
“When Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker faces sudden bankruptcy, political and business interests collide as Charlie defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace,” says the synopsis. Tyler Treese: Congrats on A Man in Full. I think this is some of the best work in your entire career. I really love the show. While this is a drama, there are some hilarious moments and deliveries throughout this. How rewarding is it when you get to do a project that gets to show so much of your range?: Well, thank you. It was an easy yes when David E. Kelly and Regina King came to me, and they had this. I had read the first episode before the meeting and I said, “I’m in.
It’s a complicated part. It’s tricky. You can’t get caught trying to be funny, and you’ve gotta kind of marry the drama along with the comedy and not get caught leaning towards one or the other. So that’s the challenge of it, and that’s the trick of it. I’m thrilled that I’m one of these actors that gets to play not only comedy and drama, like when the Greeks were holding up two masks, but sometimes at the same time.
You mentioned “a man’s man,” so I wanted to ask you about masculinity because your character, Charlie Croker, he’s the guy that refuses to use a wheelchair after surgery because he considers it weak. This show really explores masculinity and the idea of legacy in a lot of ways. So what do you think when masculinity is brought up? What do you think of being a man is because it’s more than “a man’s gotta shake his balls,” as Charlie saysAs Charlie says, yeah.
