Yeah, I liked that about him, too, which makes his arc even more interesting.
Did that quality also define much of your characterization? It didn’t matter if the person was good or bad his obligation as a doctor was always present. I like that he helped anyone in need of his care. But the script really was a great piece of music that if you just followed it, it took you there. And like I said before, it’s always fun to deep dive into the time, the music, the politics and what it would be like to be a doctor during that time. It was very specific, and it was a good kind of road map.
So what was the process of developing this character? Did you rely mostly on the text, or did you do a deep dive into doctors and family men of this era? So I’m sure that has a great deal to do with it. They did a lot with a little and helped create a real authentic look. Yeah, we had a great wardrobe team here they were fantastic. Conversely, some actors stick out like a sore thumb in period pieces they create more of a cosplay vibe for some reason. It’s hard to describe, but combined with period wardrobe, you seem to have a classical look that fits in almost any era. I’m not sure why you say that, but I like it. It’s always great to study a time and a place, and since I did so poorly in school, it’s always a re-education for me. Have you ever thought about why that might be? You always seem to translate well in period films like The Secrets We Keep. In a recent conversation with THR, Messina also reflects on the shocking end to The Secrets We Keep, playing poker with Matt Damon and Edward Norton in Rounders and his about-face regarding Jean-Marc Vallée’s shooting style on Sharp Objects. And I’m hoping I can dive into more characters that possess that as well.” But yeah, Victor Zsasz, which was a blast to play, was when they let me out of the cage, and it’s just a little bit of the anarchy that I have in me. So it’s taken a while to show people or convince people that I’m an actor and that I can do other things. “In a small way, I first became known in the public eye as being a nice guy, and that has stuck with me. I’ve said this numerous times, but once you do something halfway decent in Hollywood, the imagination, unfortunately, for the masses runs thin,” Messina explains. “I think I have more levels of off the wall than that. Since Messina has long been cast in the aforementioned nice guy roles, he welcomed the chance to create a little chaos, and he hopes that Birds of Prey will pave the way for more unhinged characters. If you do like The Secrets We Keep, it does make it nice, but the experience is sweeter than any of the bullshit that follows.”Įarlier this year, Messina played Victor Zsasz, who might be his most deranged character yet, in Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey.

If you don’t like The Secrets We Keep, it doesn’t take away what I learned from Noomi (Rapace) on that movie and the sparring matches inside of those ferocious and exhilarating scenes. “After you mourn the reception of certain things, you always have, for the rest of your existence, the experience, which nobody can take away. And being directed by Ben (Affleck), acting alongside him and all of those things became the treasure,” Messina tells The Hollywood Reporter. The experience, the day-to-day, working through the material and wearing those costumes was the win. “Just being cast in Live By Night with that group of people was the win.
