We chat with TheBestMan star Brendan Fehr about his lead role in the new tense single-location action film, directed by Shane Dax Taylor, and his recent project with Roswell costar Majandra Delfino:
Warning: SPOILERS for The Best ManThe Best Man is a tight action-thriller that takes the single-location structure made iconic by the incredibly quotable Die Hard and brings it to a sunny resort. Directed and co-written by Shane Dax Taylor, The Best Man tells the story of a group of former Special Ops soldiers who must fight back once the wedding they’re attending is crashed and taken over by mercenaries.
Brendan Fehr: I suppose that would be a question for them. I've done some action stuff. It's funny; you have certain expectations going into any project, whether it's because of the script, the people, whoever's directing it, or whoever you're co-starring with, or starring with.
Brendan Fehr: I try not to focus on time. When people are rushing or going, "We only have this," [I'm like,] "That's not my problem, it's your problem. You figure it out. I'll help if I can." My job as an actor is obviously to create a character and establish relationships in the film.
My buddy Tim Busfield would be like, "'Mood' spelled backwards is 'Doom'.", It always sticks with me where I'm just like, "You can be in a dark place, but it's still got to be filled." It's that thing of, like, when you're acting bored, you don't do nothing. When you're bored, your mind is racing. You're thinking about, "How can I not be bored? But I am bored." There's actually so much activity in a board person.
Brendan Fehr: Yeah, I think you're certainly aware of that. I can come up with comps to my character in terms of other actors and characters in other movies, but you always want to be careful of not trying to copy something, because it's going to feel like you're copying something. [In] stealing inspiration from something, or even stealing some things from something, there has to be a point where you make it your own, or else it's just going to look really inauthentic.
But then, it really is a miracle that any movie gets done. Given what it takes to put a movie together from start to finish, it seems impossible. It's hard. It's really hard. You put your best foot forward, and you have a lot of fun, and then you cross your fingers that people like it.
