DP/30: The Lovely Bones, Stanley Tucci

[@liakelsey2928]

It's just crazy to see this amazing man play a creep the role was amazing he nailed it

[@legolaslelandlover15]

I didn't know at first! I wouldnt known until i saw a video about the movie and actors! No matter who many times ive watch it

[@gianna6219]

His wife died that year, so when the reporter said "you had a great year" my heart broke

[@mariestreeting4213]

Oh no, don’t these interviewers do some basic research before they talk to someone. I believe some woman asked Martin Short about how his Wife was when she had already passed away.

[@michellecnebrown6792]

I love the fact that he did not know that they were shooting initially and he was just as lovely either way!

[@maddieh7628]

The lovely bones is my favorite movie ever. I cry every time I see it. I cry most at the part where Mr. Harvey does the final push of the safe into the sinkhole. Like, that’s it. She’s gone. She’ll never be found. She finally has a grave. And that’s just it. Stanley is such an amazing actor. He’s the best creep for a movie, but the sweetest person in irl. ❤️❤️

[@Snookii1222]

I loved him in Burlesque I never even realized this was him playing mr Harvey !!! Happy to know that they picked a very sweet and light hearted man for this role because the movie disgustingly accurate

[@barbiecrocker7420]

I adore this man. He smells so good. I can just tell. He is uber talented.

[@athenstar10]

He always look neat... except when he played Mr. Harvey.

[@kam0406]

He seems like a nice man. A very talented actor. One of the very best.

[@argentée107.8u]

I adore this great actor! After watching this movie, I couldn't look at anyone with that moustache in real life and in movies, even when their characters were in contrast to this part (her, lobster), without feeling quite uneasy and distracted. Other actors have wonderfully played psychopaths. Never the influence of those roles was ever so potent in translating elsewhere and affecting my concious cues so negatively, but this one part. Stanley Tucci placed that character forefront extremely well. It must be so difficult and troubling for one such actor to actually play it so convincingly and having to keep a disturbed individual like that with you for so long.

[@mrpaulgrimm6129]

He’s a good actor because I hated him

[@benschaeffer8102]

He's SUCH a GREAT actor. He disappeared into that Mr. Harvey role and it was REALLY chilling. I just watched The Lovely Bones the other day and I'd forgotten HOW GOOD he was in it.

[@blueheartgirl]

I couldn t look at him for years because of this role. That s the mark of a great actor. And yes i did found him attractive in the movie,just like i adore him in real life because of his kindness,politeness and now in 60's he s got that sexy vibe❤️

[@brunetteDUH]

wow he's one of my favorite actors, and funny :) thanks for the interview! i loved the lovely bones.

[@EphemeralProductions]

his smile is too adorable. :) and his laugh!

[@Nazaba09]

The day I found out he was straight was the best day of my life.

[@blueheartgirl]

I know right? Thank God for that.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Not mine. Im gay! LOL

[@rutiponce8377]

i do like this man, he is so natural, i keep thinking how he did "the lovely bones" and "shall we dance" which are soooo different xD

[@KelliHarrah]

Gucci Tucci.

[@okoyechristiana1396]

Movies that intrigued me about child murder were "the lovely bones"(girls murder) and "the black phone"(boys murder). I'm saying this in November, 2022.

[@1Butfac]

Love this vid - just a wealth of knowledge from my favorite actor

[@mattysheehan9786]

God it’s so easy to forget that mr Harvey was Stanley

[@johannaschmidt4744]

You're afraid at parents that your child could happen this and then you have this roll to play it's not quite easy

[@adellnewman2854]

He is a damn good actor wow

[@naci2378]

I think he loved playing the character of Mr. Harvey

[@EphemeralProductions]

he HATED it. it bothered him playing such a creepy, disturbed individual. He was glad to be rid of the character. He's said that in several interviews I've seen.

[@benschaeffer8102]

I think the thing about playing a creepy, disturbed or psychotic character is this: it's good experience for an actor to go: "outside their comfort zone" and play it, BUT, also be FULLY CONSCIOUS of the fact that it's HIGHLY triggering, disturbing and COMPLETELY the opposite of who we ACTUALLY are. I mean, it's the "essence" of being an actor. SO, I know how difficult and complex it is to portray an evil or malicious character and be CONVINCING, yet have a COMPLETELY uncomfortable but amazing, transformative personal experience at the same time. I remember I had the chance to play Iago in an Oregon Shakespeare Festival production of Othello back when I was in college. Now, Iago isn't technically a: "serial killer" BUT, he's vicious, manipulative and conniving, and people do end up dead as a result of his actions, as we see with Desdemona, and eventually with Othello himself. Iago is left alive, but wounded. The fact is: he's left to stew alive in his misery and guilt over what he's done. NOT a happy ending. 😁 And it's Shakespeare; so OF COURSE I did it. It was DRAINING. Comedy is MUCH easier and lighter for me to play (some Actors say Comedy is harder and I have had pretty much the complete opposite experience) and create in than Drama is, and it does take up ALL of your energy. SO, I think that's what Tucci is saying. He CLEARLY enjoyed working with Peter Jackson and Saoirse, so that also can make it more bearable. I loved and trusted my castmates and my Director and that made it doable, because I knew they didn't regard me as an extension of my character. When you're a nice person in real life, but are playing an evil character, having the love and support of your fellow Actors and the Director makes it MUCH more tolerable. And yeah, that feeling of wanting to be "rid" of the character is VERY real and palpable. I KNOW I felt that way after the run of Othello ended. I could feel the character still lurking a bit and I just wanted him GONE. Shed, cast out, just leave out of my mind please. Eventually, you do shed it, but it's a process. I think this is why being an Actor is somewhat a mad thing because sometimes it's difficult to let a character go, despite how despicable and creepy they may have been to play. I can DEFINITELY understand both why Tucci took the role on, AND why he wanted it GONE from him after he'd finished shooting.

[@rest9520]

The way he waved back to susie So cute

[@Ski7440]

I liked that bit where you didn't know it was being filmed :) you were fine Mr Harvey :)

[@georgesabol459]

I hated Tucci because of the lovely bones, just shows how well he did in the role. Some of the movie was schmaltzy but all in all l the cast of Saroisa Ronan, her sister Lindsey & Rachel Weisz were great. The little brother and heartbroken detective also were perfect.

[@sugarray6250]

What about Mark Wahlberg I think he did a great job.

[@georgesabol459]

@@sugarray6250 sorry, not to be rude , but I believe the story about the murder of the young girl was more pertinent. Not looking to pick a fight, but we all have our favorites. Thanks for the reply.

[@star-tc7xv]

For his role in lovely bones, he accepted on the terms that they would change his appearance entirely so that he wouldn’t be recognized for it. There was also a very gruesome scene of r@pe in the book, which was going to be somewhat put into the movie. He asked if they could not do that part, since even the thought of doing that to a child made him feel sick. An amazing man and actor, he played the role so well.

[@georgesabol459]

@@star-tc7xv I couldn't agree more. I too read the book, yes that particular scene needed to be left out.. Tucci , is a multi faceted actor. Saroisa Ronan really captured it though.

[@flygirl1297]

:O it was filmed in NZ! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@aaailicec]

Did any of the actors read the book?

[@Fintanflaherty]

The camera man could not get that frame right.

[@brendenlisi2302]

that white pine cone on the left and the corner of the wall on the right were so distracting. haha I noticed it too!

[@alisbuus6]

I think that Stanley Tuccy is one of the funniest men in american movies, and I love him speciel in "Shall we dance" with Ricard Gere and Jennifer Lopez, In "The lovely bones" he is so scary, and how some can mean he is sexy is so stupid. He was a child-abuser and a killer, and here he tells, how hard it was for him to play this part. It is a wonderful movie and all actors are great,

[@GabrielaGarcia-ov4xg]

He is such an amazing actor, he completely transformes himself. When I first saw the movie, I didn't know it was him. He Creeped me out so much.

Nice guy. Seems like a carpet layer who got lucky. He’s thisclose to getting pretentious, but slap a wig on him and he indeed can play anything. Got that? Of course you do. Thank you. Ps am friends w Meryl who told my wife Stanley took huge BMs on set. And that’s his secret. True story.
