, his upcoming film King Ivory, working with familiar actors, and more. Long Gone Heroes is now available on-demand and digitally.
You’ve worked with him several times, and the same with Melissa Leo. When you’re working with these actors that you really have these relationships with, how is it really getting to iterate? I assumeYeah, I mean, I’m blessed to have made relationships, and strong ones at that, with a lot of the actors in this movie, Frank, Melissa, Leo, George Carroll. I’ve done, I think, seven movies with Beau Knapp. I’ve done three with Eden, so there’s a lot of history with me and all these actors.
It’s exactly as you said. Taking these two characters with these very different points of view on the world politically and just basic life mantras. They’re very different. Eden’s character, Julia, is obviously bleeding heart and wants to help people and really save this troubled country. Frank is only interested in getting her out at all costs. Obviously, as you mentioned, there’s a point in the movie where Frank has to change and sees an opportunity to change and does.
I always tell people when they ask me when they want to get into the film business, “How should I do this?” or “What should I do?” I say, “Well, you should make sure that you have no other options because it’s a very tough business to get into and to have success at, and to get any work in. Also, I don’t have any other options. I don’t know what else I would do if I weren’t doing this. I love doing it, so when given the opportunity, I take it.
Melissa Leo is in both King Ivory and Long Gone Heroes. She’s a great actress. What about working with her really stands out since this has been a very fruitful relationship for you both? Speaking of the absolute best, King Ivory has Ben Foster in it, and he’s one of my favorite actors. How is it just working with him? He is one of the most underappreciated actors, I feel like.
