I had a chance to catch up with Cory Blevins -- a “character” actor who seems to be everywhere.
How was it working on the new “Get Shorty”?
CORY: Working with talent like луч, рэй Romano and Adam Arkin, who serves as executive producer and directed several episodes of the show, Ты never know where Ты are going creatively. It’s an exciting ride! For me, Adam is Актёрское искусство royalty. By far the best experience I’ve ever had as an actor.
Be honest, what was it like investigating луч, рэй Romano and Chris O’Dowd every day?
CORY: The majority of my scenes are with луч, рэй Romano and as Ты can imagine, he is an amazing actor to work with. So much of it comes off the cuff and feels so organic. I think it comes from his years on set. He really makes the work fun and almost effortless.
You’re also in the final season of “Longmire,” what can Ты share about that experience?
CORY: Funnily enough, working on “Longmire” meant returning to Albuquerque, New Mexico - which is the same place “Get Shorty” was filmed. The great thing about “Longmire” is how tight the cast and crew is. This is their final season and they definitely have it down to a science.
And, Ты have a role in the new “S.W.A.T.,” right?
CORY: Yes! It aired on December 7th on CBS. The Показать is big budget, high action and shot completely on location in Los Angeles. I play a wealthy victim who tries to cover the crime that was committed against him. So far people are really enjoying the Показать and I’m looking вперед to seeing how people receive my episode.
You’ve been jumping around shows lately, does that make your head spin или is it fun?
CORY: That’s kind of my thing! I’m a character actor who seems to bounce from Показать to Показать and I Любовь that! It’s the reason I chose this as a profession. It allows me to work on many different types of shows and dig into many different kinds of characters.
If Ты could choose -- comedy, drama или something else?
CORY: There is no way I could choose between them! There is nothing еще exciting than going from the goofy dad on ABC’s "Fresh Off The Boat" to Marcia Clarks divorce attorney in "The People Vs. OJ Simpson." I think if I had to pick just one, I’d find myself constantly looking for new ways to stretch myself creatively.
And, now just for fun:
Who’s your Избранное actor/actress?
CORY: I miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Talk about a talent! There wasn’t anything that guy did that didn’t shine.
What role from the past do Ты wish Ты could have played?
CORY: Any of the guys on “Oceans 11”! It looked like they were having a blast!
Favorite movie или TV Показать from your childhood.
CORY: Growing up in the 80’s I was a big sci-fi fan. Anything from “Quantum Leap” to the first three “Star Wars” films and I was hooked!
Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.
CORY: I’m from just outside of Detroit and attended the same high school as Madonna. She graduated a bit before me, but it’s one of those trivia things people like to hear.
