Whether it’s playing a determined soldier in World War I, an enterprising hustler in a strip club, a polarizing television reporter, or the representative of Christ on Earth, authenticity was a crucial component in the actor’s performance. Some of the performers at the forefront of this year’s awards conversation went to extraordinary lengths to prepare for their roles.
Charlize Theron, who takes on a transformative role as real-life newswoman Megyn Kelly in director Jay Roach’s “Bombshell,” says, “I took my time when I got the script to really try and process this character and story, and consulted a lot of my close confidants in the process, including Jay.” To begin his metamorphosis, Pryce turned to the internet in order to perfectly capture Pope Francis’ voice and comportment. “I looked at a lot of video of him — the way he moved, the sound of his voice and how softly spoken he was.” He also enlisted the help of a co-star. “Because the majority of what [Pope Francis] says is in English, I wanted to do it with a kind of genuine Argentinian accent while speaking English.
Similarly, for Lopez, who is already an incredibly skilled, seasoned dancer, her preparation for “Hustlers” was her greatest challenge. “I trained for almost six months with the amazing Johanna Sapakie. I had a portable strip pole in every city I went to while I was touring around the world this summer, so I never missed a session.”
“The phrase ‘Just got back from a weekend at the beach with my husband and my three kids!’ is forever ingrained in my memory from practicing it about 10,000 times.”
