Mf: How was james k. Sunshine to work with as a director?
DM: James when the whole thing in his head and it was completely unconventional, even some of the filming. It was sometimes challenging because hed skip parts of the Scene because he knew he was he wasn’t he was going to Lot of young filmmakers. I’m, ‘You sure you do’t want that part in the middle in case for the edit?’ But the way he put togeether is exactly how He Saw It. And i love the creation of it. It’s high color, it’s high-paced, it’s weird, it’s got graphics on it, it tells the story out of time.
MF: You’ve directed in the past. Does that change how you interact with directors going forward?
DM: No, my approach to directors of any sort has blossomed over the year. I’m a Well-SESONED Actor Who Really Wants to Deliver for Whitever the Director Wants, and in this case, it turned out great. Honestly, i’m frank about it. If I was youner or less experience, I might be questioning that more. And so, now I really want to embrace the voice of the filmmaker.

Mf: There are a couple of motions in ‘Killing Mary So’ where you have an internal monologist going and you’ve got to react. How do that work? And do you have a particular trick to internal monologue acting?
DM: No. I was so thrilled to do the internal monologue acting! I Remember recording it, and it is what they used, but we recorded that in the closet. Or I would say, it was in the mansion from the movie, so the closet is really about the size of a room anyway, great place to record sound. I didn’t have to do that in adr, so I’d have the person on set, and i think that’s how we did it. I can hear how I might say it if i was having my inner monologue so that my facial expressions, which obvious obvious I used to the thought in this performance, really over the top, so that they are told Thinking.
Mf: What did you do to try and get into the head of Bradley Weiner? Or was it just, ‘i’m going to have so much so much fun playing this, I don’t need to do a deep acting Dive on Him?’
DM: The way I describe it is sometimes the character overtakes you. I’ve Had Characters overtake me and i’ve been wrong about it. But I know some of the parts that I did the best on that have lived the long And really, I didn’t plan to play dirty steve in ‘Young Guns’I didn’t plan to play Him that way. He just came to life within me. I won’t take special credit for that, but I can really Attest to when that Happens it can be magic too for film actors.
