Edited image of Richard Brake during Last Stop in Yuma County interview
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Richard Brake continues his terrifying villainous reign on screen with The Last Stop in Yuma County. Since making his breakout turns in Batman Begins as Wayne family killer Joe Chill and the 2005 Doom movie adaptation as Portman, the Welsh actor has steadily built an impressive filmography, largely comprised of antagonistic characters.
In honor of the movie's wide release, Screen Rant interviewed Richard Brake to discuss The Last Stop in Yuma County, the challenges of portraying his "underplayed" and "calculating" villain, his reunion with Jocelin Donahue and cinematographer Mac Fisken, and his thoughts on Brad Dourif's recent retirement announcement.
I was in Detroit doing something, and I remember calling him — I spend most of my life in hotel rooms, I was in a hotel room in Detroit. And I spoke to Francis for a long time about film, about this film, and just thought, "This guy knows his stuff, and I think this is gonna be a good film." And what I love is that you take those risks. And again, with Barbarian, it was the same.
I got the sense that his character was going to be the brilliant, crazy f---ing guy that he is in it. I thought I do have to be actually terrifying, Beau has to be terrifying for this to really kind of work. So, I had to call Francis about two weeks before production on a Zoom call and tell him this, and I thought he might not like this. We planned this meeting, and he had been rehearsing in LA, I was in Slovakia filming — once again, in a hotel room — and he wanted to speak.
Richard Brake: I love Jocelin, and we had a great time doing Offseason. It was the same DP, actually, the great Mac Fisken, and she's just a great actor, and just a lovely human being, which you need in independent films. Because you're together all day, there's no sitting around in trailers or any of that stuff. You got to muck in when you make a low budget indie, so everyone has to be cool, basically, and really get on it.
