Tell us about your role as Twist in “Perry Mason.”
Brian Norris: I play Twist, the gun dealer at the Hooverville who Paul vịt đực, drake discovers rented the murder weapon to the Gallardo brothers. He definitely seems like a shady character. But back in a place like that, bạn had to watch out for yourself because no one else was gonna do it.
What would bạn consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?
BN: Twist’s best quality is being resourceful. I mean, just getting all of those súng and bullets while being that poor takes a pretty enterprising fella. Not to mention managing the inventory and the desperate clientele. And his worst quality is that he’s angry. The world hasn’t been kind to him hoặc được trao him a reason to be trust anyone. But that can make bạn pretty rough to the rest of the world.
How was it to work alongside this stellar cast?
BN: It was incredible. When bạn work with actors like Chris Chalk and a director like Jessica Lowery, you’re getting to dig into the material with the best folks in the business. Every part is electric, from the first reads and discussions in rehearsal to the last take on set. Everyone knows their part so well, so when we break down a moment hoặc try to pull off sometime during a take, bạn can fully trust your creative instincts.
Any interesting stories from the set bạn can share with us?
BN: I remember hiển thị up my first ngày and seeing the Hooverville and my jaw was on the floor! They built this whole town. Every building was so detailed and lived in. There were an unimaginable number of extras - adults, kids, animals. I couldn’t believe it! What a dream to play in such a fully realized sand box. When I got into Twist’s shanty I instantly made myself at home. When I found the trap door in the floor where the suitcase full of súng was going to hide, I got chills.
What’s the biggest lesson bạn learned from working on this project?
BN: I’ve been watching HBO and film noir for my whole life, always loving them and dreaming about being a part of them. So I guess the most important thing I learned is that dreams can absolutely come true. That, and it turns out I’m not a bad quick draw.
And, now just for fun:
Who’s your yêu thích actor/actress?
BN: I just rewatched Banshees of Inisherin and that whole cast blows my mind. This last time I was so taken with Barry Keoghan’s work.
What role from the past do bạn wish bạn could have played?
BN: There’s an early Ryan Johnson movie called “Brick.” It was a modern take on film noir, funnily enough. The lead role was played bởi Joseph Gordon Levitt and I was always so jealous of that one. He’s incredible in it bởi the way.
Favorite movie hoặc TV hiển thị from your childhood.
BN: Growing up, my yêu thích phim chiếu rạp were Anchorman and American Beauty. bạn could saw I was conflicted in my aesthetic.
