The director chose award-winning actor Rob Lindley to play the title role because, “spiritually, artistically, and personally, he is aligned with Andy Warhol and that era of artists,” Jones explained. Lindley, who praised the script, has been digging deep in preparation for this role. That includes watching the documentary “The Andy Warhol Diaries” and every available interview of Warhol. In addition, Lindley reported, “this fall when I had a little break from other projects, I drove to Pittsburgh and spent a whole day at the Andy Warhol Museum.”
