Firstly I’ll say that I saw ‘Confess, Fletch’ recently and I really enjoyed the film. How did you get involved in the film?
- I got a call from my pal Jon Hamm. I was sent the script through my agent. I knew that Jon was trying to get the movie made and that Greg Mottola was going to be directing. I directed a film, that hasn’t come out yet, that Hamm is the star of and I knew it was going to affect (the schedule) one way or the other. I knew that it was happening, I just wasn’t sure when. I didn’t know that I was going to be asked to be involved and then they asked me to play Frank and I was happy to do it. It was only a couple of scenes and but it was great fun. I’m a big fan of Greg Mottola and I’m good friends with Hamm.
You and Jon have history having starred together in ‘Mad Men’. What was it like to be acting opposite one another again?
- It was funny sitting in a bar we’ve sat at I don’t know how many bars together on-screen and off-screen. That was amusing. There’s an easy rapport. We actually worked together day one of the pilot of ‘Mad Men’ and he had to do a very involved scene, and we just hit it off right away. He had to do all kinds of business and I just had to stand there and watch and then make some snide comment at the end of the scene as I would do, and leave. We just hit it off right away and have been that way since. This was a very easy rhythm to fall into. The scenes were apparent what the dynamic was and the history of the two characters and all that. It was nice to have a built in history, and not have to cook it all up.
What do you have coming up outside of ‘Confess, Fletch’?
- I did a movie called ‘Maggie Moore(s)’ with Jon and Tina Fey. I screened it recently looking for distribution. It’s a comedy about a double murder and we’re looking for the right home for it. It’s an it’s a ever-shifting ground, the streaming and the buying and selling movies and TV. It’s a weird time. There are companys emerging or disappearing or exponentially growing? There’s so much material out, there’s so much content out there, that you want to find the right place to cut through.
