'What an opportunity and what an education it was,” enthused Gabriel LaBelle of playing budding filmmaker Sammy Fabelman, which is based on Steven Spielberg. “The universe aligned in a very specific way for me to get this.”
It can be daunting enough to portray a living legend on film. But when that icon is with you every day of shooting watching your every move, well, that can invoke next-level anxiety.
That “education” included the chance to act alongside such heavy-hitters as Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and Judd Hirsch, who, respectively, play Sammy’s mother, father, family friend and great-uncle.The Envelope recently spoke with the thoughtful and genial LaBelle at L.A.’s Four Seasons Hotel, amid a whirlwind stretch of interviews to promote his star-making role.I think so. We both love film and we’re both trying to dedicate our lives to it.
I asked Steven what movies he watched when he was that age, what inspired him. I tried to watch as many of those as I could. But the big culture change [to learn] was what it meant to be a man in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the expectations you had to be the head of a family, and the fact that nobody really got divorced back then. You tucked your shirt in, you combed your hair, you stood upright and it was a lot more formal and almost repressed.
As a relative newcomer, you act here against some formidably talented and experienced actors. Talk a bit about working with Judd Hirsch in the sensational scene in which great-uncle Boris gives Sammy that torrent of life-changing advice.
