Judd Hirsch gives what might be one of the best one-scene roles in cinema history in 'The Fabelmans'—and it's thrust him into the center of Oscar season for the first time in decades.
what might go down as one of the great one-scene roles in cinema’s history—and thrusting him, improbably, to the center of Oscar season for the first time in decades.
At the midpoint of Spielberg’s autobiographical drama, which examines a young filmmaker’s origin story against the backdrop of his family’s joys and tragedies in post–World War II America, the Bronx native hurtles into frame like a crotchety hurricane, and exits almost as quickly . Hirsch plays the protagonist’s estranged great-uncle, Boris.
But Hirsch knew this man. “Inside me is the old guy,” he tells me. “I think that has been true ever since I was born.” Spielberg told Hirsch that Uncle Boris was Ukrainian, “but really Russian,” just like Hirsch’s mother and many of her generation from the southern region were; the actor himself has felt that lineage his whole life.
