“I think it got another life when it went on Netflix not long ago…. Oddly enough, Kitsch has noticed a recent resurgence for Disney’s John Carter, one of the films he’s been in that didn’t meet box office expectations. So I have no problem doing one scene if it’s something worthy or something that makes me uncomfortable.”
I love coming in and playing a flashy guy like Ray and supporting Chadwick…. “I see myself as a character actor first, and it really boils down to that. “I could honestly give a fuck if I’m 15th on the call sheet or first,” Kitsch tells The Hollywood Reporter.
And soon, Kitsch will return as the lead in Neill Blomkamp’s Inferno. In his latest movie, 21 Bridges, Kitsch plays a supporting role as Ray Jackson, a war veteran and small-time criminal who’s being hunted by veteran police detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman). While Kitsch couldn’t control the expectations placed on him, he appreciates the ups and downs, as well as the continued opportunities to jump back and forth between leading man and character actor.
