TV/Magazine Appearances #18: Because We Love All The New Interviews

TAYLOR KITSCH TV/MAGAZINE APPEARANCES









"For all his chiseled beauty, Riggins—Kitsch, too, for that matter—
doesn't seem in the least vain or self-regarding. Peter Berg, FNL's creator,
describes Kitsch as "a guy who's won the genetic lottery, only he doesn't know it."
I disagree with Berg. I think Kitsch does know it. He just refuses to let it
go to his head, to **** him up."


Taylor Kitsch Lives Up to Our Fantasies



"But the 32-year-old British Columbia native possesses a surprising absence of vanity.
Kitsch bought a home in Austin while filming FNL, and still lives there,
ducking the Hollywood spotlight as much as possible. When I met up
with him in New York, he wore a T-shirt and jeans to a luxury hotel
lounge and asked if I was planning to "get some grub." He's remarkably
grounded, with a ready laugh and a tendency to pepper his speech with
the word ****in'."

Taylor Kitsch - Page - Interview Magazine



"Oh, God, I could give you a million reasons
why not L.A. I know actors that love the celebrity. For me, it's
tough because you're doing six months of press. That's why you
put all the work in and almost ****ing kill yourself, because if
you've got to talk about it a million times, you'd better be proud.
And I can't work. I lost a job that I wish I could have been a part
of—three scenes in a character-driven movie that I'd murder to be
a part of. But you sound like you're playing the violin when you
say it. Relationships and friends go to the wayside. You get angry
because it's press that's pulling you and not the work. And how do
you ****ing build a relationship with a gal that you care for and
say, "Hey, I'm going to be gone for eight weeks. I expect you to
have the same feelings as right now in eight weeks. But I'll be in
Japan, Russia, Spain..." You can't expect it. It's unfair. I think I chose
to build in Austin because, in Austin, I can come and escape and be myself."

Most recent interviews/appearances from the last thread:

Fox 17 Interview.








Quote:
Two decades later, ‘Waco’ serves as a 'cautionary tale’ of the disenfranchised

It would be easy to dismiss Paramount Network’s “Waco” miniseries as old news: After all, what could a 1993 standoff between FBI agents and religious leader David Koresh tell us about today? Turns out, quite a lot, particularly with Michael Shannon (as FBI negotiator Gary Noesner) and Taylor Kitsch (Koresh) starring. The Envelope sat down with both actors to revisit the scene of the crime, talk about the concept of “bad guys” and consider who would win in a battle between General Zod and one of the X-Men.

Back in 1993, when the David Koresh/FBI standoff story broke, Michael was appearing in “Groundhog Day” and Taylor was about 12. What drew you to this story today?

Michael Shannon: The art of negotiation is a very beautiful art. It’s one of the more noble things that human beings do, try and negotiate with each other to find common ground. Gary tried to save lives, and I found it was a noble endeavor.

Taylor Kitsch: A lot of the research I did before meeting with [creators Drew and John] the Dowdles turned out to be false. It was fascinating trying to understand Koresh’s mindset, and the event itself is fascinating.

You two are the stars, but you have basically no scenes together; when you’re on the phone together, the actual person on the other end was often one of the Dowdles, right?

Kitsch: Yeah, Drew was so nervous; he’d be pacing around more than I would before a call.

Shannon: It was a big reveal when we actually got to see each other’s stuff. I don’t think I’d even met Taylor yet, and I definitely hadn’t seen him in costume, but he’d just finished a scene where [Koresh’s] band was playing at a bar, and [Taylor, in costume] was walking down the road alone, and I looked out the window and thought, “Holy moly, that’s David Koresh.” Took my breath away.

It’s nice to see you playing a heroic role, Michael; you’re often playing a villain.

Shannon: I don’t choose to look at it that way. Every character I play is a unique human being in their own regard. It’s not like in prison where I’m putting hashtag marks on the wall: “I played five bad guys, one medium guy, two pretty nice guys.” Anyway, Gary’s a nice guy — but he’s not a saint. He’d be the first to admit that.

Kitsch: You can’t brush [the characters] in black and white strokes. There are so many variables that came into this — emotion and ego on both sides, both people answering to higher-ups.

It’s impossible to watch “Waco” and not see how it’s relevant today — from the militarization of policing forces to the ideological fracture in American society.

Shannon: Yeah, it’s super relevant. There are a lot of disenfranchised people in our country who feel they are not being heard; they feel they’re not being taken care of, that no one cares about them. It’s definitely a cautionary tale.

Kitsch: One of the most beautiful things I saw was how 24 years later, while we were shooting, I got to witness Noesner and [David] Thibodeau, Koresh’s right-hand man, have lunch and chat. They still agree to disagree, but that’s OK, you know? You can take a lot from that.

On a lighter note: You’ve both made superhero movie appearances; in a fight between “X-Men’s” Gambit/Remy LeBeau (Kitsch) and “Man of Steel’s” General Zod (Shannon), who would triumph?

Shannon: Oh, jeez. General Zod, well, he fought Superman for quite a long time. He made Superman crack his neck.

Kitsch: That’s pretty legit.

Shannon: General Zod would not quit.

Kitsch: He’s not a quitter. All I’d have is kinetic energy.

It sounds like you both had a good experience working on “Waco,” but what was the most ridiculous note you’ve ever gotten from a director?

Kitsch: I’m not going to tell you what movie, but it was an early one. Literally, the only direction I got on the movie: “

Shannon: First job I ever got, I don’t even think it was SAG, was this show "Early Edition.”

Kitsch: Of course! Kyle Chandler, a dear friend of mine! [Kitsch and Chandler costarred on “Friday Night Lights.”]

Shannon: So I got a day player part, some punk kid drug dealer, some miscreant. And I think Kyle was there. The director turns to me and goes, “You! Don’t do anything! Know all that stuff you were doing? Don’t do it! None of it! Just don’t do anything, OK?” That was when I realized, when you’re on camera, you just don’t do anything.

Kitsch: The best and the worst note you ever got.

Shannon: And I’m still here. Still here and not doing anything.

I'm confused about the softball thing. Are we hoping he will be there or do we know that he will be?

It is Letterman! He was on there promoting John Carter. This was the interview that sent him into a PR **** storm when he didn't correct Dave when he said the Philippines instead of Indonesia.

I have it on my vimeo account, you can watch it here:

We are hoping he will, but since the Lone Survivor Foundation isn't the recipient of the proceeds this year, I doubt Taylor or Marcus will make an appearance.

I just found a mention of Taylor maybe being there by someone who is attached to the event, but that was months ago and maybe before it was known that the Lone Survivor Foundation wasn't attached to the event this year.

Has anyone seen or heard one of his Ram ads lately? It's been over a month for me. I don't even see Ram ads that often lately, but when I do they're the ones with the other narrator. No bueno.

I have no idea. I’ve not heard them on the radio, I don’t watch commercials. Oldest minion and I were discussing the ram ads he other day. It’s stupid easy money for him, I hope he keeps doing them.
