We spoke w/ bertkreischer about TheMachine, why he wasn’t allowed to do interviews shirtless, and obsessing over StarWars with MarkHamill.
In a tale of human connection that defies language and cultural barriers, comedian and actor Bert Kreischer makes his theatrical movie debut in The Machine, in theaters May 26. Based on the fantastical stand-up story Kreischer told of his college days attending Florida State University, and directed by Peter Atencio , the action comedy takes place 23 years later, when Kreischer and his father, played by Mark Hamill, must face the consequences of his actions.
So you've done a lot in terms of comedy specials, podcasts, you put a lot out there. If someone has actually never heard you before or seen you before, what's the first thing you want them watching? KREISCHER: Oh yeah, I saw it in the movie theater, I saw Return of the Jedi in the movie theater, and on the ride home, I tried to get my Chewbacca doll to lift [mimes using the Force]. I was obsessed with Star Wars, I was obsessed with Star Wars.
KREISCHER: Oh, so I never really understood actors needing to be in character and stuff. Like, I didn't get it, I just never acted. And in most of this movie, I'm just playing myself, so I'm in character every day when I show up to work.
