. “A lot of the time, you get cast from a thing that somebody’s seen you in, and if you filled that role well in one place, then they are more inclined to think of you for a similar thing later down the line. Oftentimes, I get close and then don’t get cast as the ‘guy with the gun,’ because I’ve never been a guy with a gun. They hire a guy who—get this—has done roles where he has a gun.”
Mike had a lot in the script there, and thankfully, also as a director, [he] could offer up things that I had not arrived at. I would be looking at it at times unsympathetic to Shane, a little judgmental of what he's doing, and Mike was great at saying,"I think he should be more of this and more of that," to make him more affable, to make him more relaxed at times, which makes the rest of it so much more unpalatable.
Maybe Alexandra [Daddario] alludes to or says it, but it is easy for them—for Shane to have this money and this life and to meet and hang out. … That's the sort of disconnect: Rachel is saying,"I'm concerned that that's all there is. And I would like more." And Shane is saying,"ThatI wonder if this role felt freeing and exciting for you considering—and I know this is something you're very aware of—everybody loves seeing you as a perfect boyfriend and the nice guy.
But it also means that my story is pretty reactionary to somebody else's narrative. And then [as Shane], I get to drive this story, and it's me who's continually like,"I'm going to talk to the guy. I'm going to take care of this thing. I'm going to set up a boat trip for us." And it's my obsession with this thing that keeps making things worse and worse and worse.
You talked about being in the running for"the guy with the gun"—is that still a type of role you'd be interested in? Do you want to go into action films? What kind of dream roles do you have, if any?
