REAL TALK:

It was a great opportunity that I had to get a chance to speak to Emile. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time. He’s one of the great actors that doesn’t get the mainstream credit he should. I’ve always admired the fact that he seems drawn to independent film and has taken on some challenging roles throughout his career, even though he could have easily just stayed with big budged mainstream blockbusters.

He did a great job in this film. Playing a mild-mannered undertaker opposite John Cusack. Emily made it clear to me the admiration he had for Cusack since childhood. Sharing the neat story of watching a Cusack movie at a very young age and it being the first live-action movie he remembers seeing.

I really appreciated him share his story of meeting Luke Perry. Sending him fan letters as a kid, then getting to meet him recently while filming Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. What a cool endearing story. Yet another person who has nothing but great things to say about Perry, who just seemed to be a wonderful person. Hearing stories like these from Emile shows that some stars are really great people. I loved the fact that Emile proudly admitted to being a sort of a fanboy. My overall impression of Emily was how humble and personable he was in my interaction with him.
