The actor tells Vanity Fair he was “pretty broken” and “worn out” after wrapping his Oscar-winning ‘Oppenheimer’ turn. But his next project demanded a similarly intense performance.
He just had one thing standing in his way: the most significant screen role of his career, one that would go on to win him the best-actor Oscar. Yet Oppenheimer turned out to be not an impediment, but the exact right place for Small Things Like These to come together. “I gave the script to Matt when we were shooting, and he loved it,” the Irish native tells me.
” The partnership between actor and filmmaker was particularly meaningful for Mielants given the personal roots of the project. “Bill’s kind of delayed grief—I experienced a similar kind of traumatic event in my life, and I always come back to it,” he says. In the lead-up to filming, he and Murphy would share stories and talk extensively about the resonance of the material. “I’m sharing my pain with him all the time at every single moment in the story, in every shot,” Mielants says.
