Sundance 2010 Video Interview: Actor Lucas Black (GET LOW)
Note: This was originally published on February 15th, 2010.
In GET LOW, Lucas Black recalls his roots of Frank Wheatley, the iconic role of a young boy who befriends the town outcast in the Academy Award winning SLING BLADE. Here, Black returns to talking to strangers as Buddy, an assistant to the local mortician (Bill Murray) instructed with the heavy task of getting close to Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) so that he may help plan a funeral party for the notorious town legend...while the man is still alive. In this dark and heavy film, Black was given the chance to act alongside some of the greatest and most spontaneous actors that ever lived. But he was up to the challenge!
Check out our interview with Black, in which he discuss what it was like to make GET LOW with the likes of Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek. And, if you watch till the end then you might catch him do his spot on SLING BLADE imitation! Mmm-hmm!
