Sebastian Stan says he likes taking roles that freak him out. “I find usually that fear is a good indicator of something that I have to sort of step into perhaps to understand better.”
Sebastian Stan is naturally drawn to roles that scare him, like his upcoming film Fresh, the actor said in a recent interview. Though his claim to fame is playing Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Stan has been branching out as of late. He currently stars on the ongoing Hulu series Pam & Tommy as Tommy Lee, the brash, outspoken drummer of Mötley Crüe and husband to Pamela Anderson.
On Friday, Stan will have another new project releasing on Hulu, the romance-thriller film Fresh. In this unique genre hybrid feature, Stan stars alongside Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones as the two begin a budding romance. However, Stan's character is quickly found to have some questionable appetites, namely of the cannibalistic sort. Fresh has already made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival back in January, garnering a generally positive response among viewers.
“More and more as I’ve gotten older, when I read something that really kind of freaks me out a little bit and I get the voice that’s like, ‘Don’t ever go near this,’ then I’m more drawn to it as a result. I find usually that fear is a good indicator of something that I have to sort of step into perhaps to understand better.”
Known off-screen as one Hollywood's more low-key personalities, Stan seems to enjoy surprising audiences with roles they don't expect. But his penchant for a good challenge isn't anything new. Prior to Fresh and Pam & Tommy, Stan already had a several colorful characters on his filmography, from Tonya Harding's abusive husband in I, Tonya to the corrupt Deputy Lee Bodecker in The Devil All the Time.
Amid his varied résumé, Stan has yet to win, or even be nominated for, an Oscar. This is likely not the actor's focus given the small-scale roles he has been taking on recently, though Stan seems due for a major award nomination as he continues to push the envelope with each performance.
