I recently caught up with Brett Baker to discuss “Maggie” and some other fun stuff.
Tell us about your role in the zombie thriller “Maggie.”
BRETT: I play a military officer responsible for enforcing the town’s curfew. During an evening patrol, I discover a woman who is out past curfew. Her strange behavior leads me to interrogate and take her into custody.
What would আপনি consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?
BRETT: He’s a very good leader, but extremely impatient.
Did আপনি work with either of the film's stars?
BRETT: Interestingly enough, on most of my film and টেলিভিশন projects I always work opposite a star, but on this film I did not. It comes with the territory. Sometimes you’re in the spotlight and sometimes you’re fulfilling the writer’s narrative. I’m ok with both.
Any interesting stories from the set আপনি can share with us?
BRETT: The দিন we shot my scene the heat index was 115. I guess it was one of the hottest days in Louisiana history. We were shooting outside (in the sun) wearing full military uniforms. I was trenched. I remember thinking to myself, “if I can just make it through this heat, I can make it through anything.” I’m happy to প্রতিবেদন I made it through the দিন without fainting. Not bad for a kid from Anchorage, Alaska.
Are আপনি a অনুরাগী of the genre অথবা would আপনি rather be working in a comedy?
BRETT: Yes I am a অনুরাগী of the genre. I like Falling Skies, The Walking Dead and World War Z. I প্রণয় all the special effects. Comedy is my পছন্দ genre of all though. I প্রণয় to make people laugh. The art of comedic timing has always fascinated me. I feel so blessed to be working though. I try and embrace every opportunity that comes my way.
What’s the biggest lesson আপনি learned from working on this project?
BRETT: The director Henry Hobson, originally called me back for the role of the doctor. This is a larger, আরো substantial part than the one I was cast in. I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. With any collaborative effort, it’s easy to let your ego and pride get in the way of the bigger spiritual picture. I do my best to trust in God and go where He leads me.
And, now just for fun:
What’s your পছন্দ food?
BRETT: My vote is for breakfast…a good Southern breakfast. Pork chops, eggs over-easy, grits, country potatoes and biscuits with মাখন and honey.
Cats অথবা dogs?
BRETT: I’m definitely a dog guy. I have the coolest black and white Shih-tzu. Her name is “Gracie Lulu Pea-Pie Baker.” That’s her full name. She’s my best friend, and I প্রণয় her আরো than anything.
Favorite movie from your childhood?
BRETT: Tough to name just one, but I’ll go with The Deer Hunter.
Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.
BRETT: I was Leonardo Di Caprio’s body double in Titanic.
