Crime, Violence, and Community Influence: Garrett Kruithof Commentary

nsavides — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 15:52:11 +0000

This is my commentary based on prior conversation with Garrett Kruithof, an actor who has performed in projects like A&E’s Bonnie & Clyde, Deepwater Horizon, and Starz’s Magic City.

I discuss some of my takeaways from my conversation with Garrett and then I comment on some of the films and TV shows that I watched to prepare for the interview. Some of the discussion topics include

Working within a community to gain traction in the industry
How filmmakers can get actors to adjust their performances
Sex and violence on screen and how its depictions in Magic City influenced me
Why so many Hollywood purveyors of violence seem so outspoken on the gun debate
The kinds of assumptions I sometimes make about a director behind any given project
Why setting a good example on screen and in reality can make a difference.
