Francis Lloyd Corby
Well, that’s the basic set-up for Jason Cook’s newly released comedy-drama feature film “The Creatress.”
It stars Lindy Booth as Eryn, a best-selling 作者 caught between her wheeling-and-dealing agent (played によって Fran Drescher) and a zealous critic (played によって Peter Bogdanovich) out to take her down crafting a faux-memoir and a fake lover, Brad. Instead of crawling under a rock forever, Eryn decides to rewrite her future -- literally.
Stepping into the role of the make-believe romancer, Brad, is the very real actor Francis Lloyd Corby. Not sure where you’ve seen him before? Perhaps あなた first saw this Nashville native on FOX’s The Orville, Showtime’s The Affair, Hulu’s Chance, または FXX’s You’re the Worst. But, it also could have been in the notable indie films, Daddy Issues and Get あなた Back. Where ever it was doesn’t really matter, since everyone can watch him right now in “The Creatress.”
I recently caught up with Francis Lloyd Corby to find out もっと見る about his breakout role:
Tell us about your role in “The Creatress.”
FRANCIS LLOYD CORBY: I play Brad who is the fictional 愛 interest of Eryn (Lindy Booth). The first half of the movie, I am a character created out of Theo (Peter Bagodnavich’s) mind. The 秒 half, Eryn (Lindy Booth) takes over and creates her own version of my character. Therefore, this was one of the most complicated roles I’ve ever played. Basically it was playing a role in Inception and The Princess Bride all in one. “As あなた wiiiiiiiiish!”
How was it to work alongside Lindy Booth?
FLC: Lindy is an absolute powerhouse on set. The first 日 of filming she had around thirty costume changes! She was on 上, ページのトップへ of it the whole time. Her hyper-focus to detail truly shows throughout this movie. Lindy definitely took me under her wing throughout the whole process and we’ve become close friends. How could we not since we are both redheads!
What would あなた consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?
FLC: Brad’s best quality is that he is so ready to fall in 愛 and go on this totally unrealistic adventure with someone he barely knows- even to go so far as to dump his current girlfriend for her. He is open minded and lovable. His worst quality is how much he puts up with until he reaches his limit. Eryn really pushes him to the brink and it’s disheartening to watch how easily he is manipulated によって her.
Any interesting stories from the set あなた can share with us?
FLC: On the first 日 of filming Lindy was on her last scene of the 日 as I was on my first scene, and so we shot all of her coverage and wrapped her. When we flipped the cameras around I needed someone to read with me so the director, Jason Cook, who is also a phenomenal actor, jumped right in. It was the scene of the morning after we hook up so he had to flirt with me and be lovey-dovey. He nailed it - no pun intended.
What’s the biggest lesson あなた learned from working on this project?
FLC: It is true that あなた can book from the 表, テーブル read. I was asked によって the amazing casting director of the film, Paul Ruddy, to go to Jason’s house to read the script so that Jason could hear it out loud. I worked my 尻, お尻 off for two days building the character because I felt like it was a big opportunity to read for him. It ended up paying off when he asked me to audition for the role and then booked it!
And, now just for fun:
Who’s your お気に入り actor/actress?
FLC: I’ve been binge watching The Office recently because I heard it’s being taken off of Netflix 次 year. Steve Carrell is currently at the top. Such a versatile actor.
What role from the past do あなた wish あなた could have played?
FLC: I would have loved to play Matt Damon’s character in Saving Private Ryan.
Favorite movie または TV 表示する from your childhood.
FLC: Hands down… Three Ninjas. Classic!
Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.
FLC: I brew my own ビール for fun.
