Wittrock's celebrated feature film, Unbroken --Angelina

He made his film debut in , in Halloweentown High before returning to films in the film Twelve. In the comics, Scott is portrayed as an older, gay man who acts as a mentor to the rest of the Terran Green Lanterns. A casting announcement is expected in the immediate future. By Matt Grobar. Watch on Deadline. Reading scripts for the project, did that leap off the page? Yes, definitely. There was definitely a sense of unease; a sense of dread I think, also.
You know that this is not going to end well and yet you keep secretly hoping that it will, illogically. Yes, I believe he did. She wrote a very detailed book, mostly about [Andrew] Cunanan and the manhunt and Versace, but it then goes into my character and David [Madson] and everyone. Everything the show covers, it covers in even more depth, so that was a great continual resource, kind of the go-to bible whenever we had a question.
So, that was really my way in. Watching the series, it felt like Trail had a kind of PTSD—not from Navy service itself, but from the treatment of gay men in the military. Definitely, and a sense of injustice. He believed in his country—he was more of a patriot than I am—so I think that made the injustice all the more clear. You noted the way in which telling this story out of order functioned in dramatic terms.
Did it have a specific effect in the filming of the series? It did. But it was also interesting because from the very beginning, I knew where it was going. When the first thing you shoot is your gruesome death, everything you do after that is working up to that point. It added a sense of doom, but because of that I think I tried to throw as many other colors besides doom in before that, if that makes sense.
It must have been physically and emotionally intense. Yeah, it was. I realized how easily you could hang yourself. Also, the idea of Jeff putting on his uniform, saluting himself in the mirror and then going to kill himself, it leads you down some dark territory. I thought that was very revealing. So, yeah. What was it like working with Darren Criss and Cody Fern on this material?
It was great. Between the three of us there was a lot of actorly discussion about blanks to fill in, in terms of what our relationship really was, because a lot of it happened off-screen. A lot is sort of left to the imagination, so we had to make a lot of that between us, and it was good because those guys both have so much imagination and are so easy to work with. How does Murphy tend to work, in your experience?
Have you typically gone through an extensive rehearsal process on his series? Not really.
