Stanley Tucci on Being the Bad Guy

"The Lovely Bones" star talks about a dark role and indie films' dark days.

One of the most under rated actors around

[@williamcummins5133]

I saw The Lovely Bones not long after it first released then again a few nights ago. Mr. Tucci's character in that movie is one of the creepiest and best played monsters that I've ever seen in a movie. I'll admit that I haven't seen many other works that he's been in, but I'll definately make a point to watch more of his work. Outstanding acting. I don't know how people do it, getting into the head space of pure evil and psychotic sickness. I've read and seen in interviews with other really talented performers that it's a method and a talent. I doubt that I could ever even attempt to play a murderous child predator without going strait to a nut hatch for a very long vacation.

I agree, and I'm currently in a Stanley Tucci craze!!!

[@Yakkay1972]

this bad guy scared the crap out of me.

[@theycallmenugget8088]

Honestly. I think it’s the fact that there are real people like this in the world. They’re everywhere. We might know someone like this. That’s terrifying. He still scares the hell out of me because of how real he is.

[@gamewarden2813]

My mom made me watch the movie at 9 years old when me and my friends took 🍬 from a stranger. Good move on her part because that movie scared the living crap out of me

[@mikokennoob5032]

I am planning to show this movie to my daughter when she is around from 8 to 10. She is 4 now, planning on to show my 12 year old son. It happens to boys too. The idea of it happening to my children is heartbreaking.

[@aizensvank5981]

@@mikokennoob5032 you should. This put a big lesson on me when I was younger (I still am young but you get the point)

[@maryannvitelli5818]

Been a fan of Stanley Gucci for decades. Phenomenal actor. Love the guy. EVERY single movie he's been in, he is the star!

[@Redhairedlady65]

Stanley Tucci is a great actor. And he seems to be a very intelligent and nice person too.

[@gloriadodds7102]

One of the nicest actors in the business and he made us believe he was pure evil.

[@Pichucita]

Amazing actor!! He is so handsome and classy!! :)

[@taradactule6052]

I have always thought this man is brilliant

[@jamlym4974]

His eyes are so dead in the movie.

[@BdrittelD]

Great interviewer

[@oooh19]

I read somewhere that many actors and actresses enjoy playing the villains more because it's fun! It's a release.

[@maisiefeek2747]

oooh19 yeah but this is different. It's the sick psychology of a kidnapper, rapist and murderer. He felt incredibly uncomfortable playing him as he was so so so creepy.

[@Randomperson-fr1qg]

Maisie Feek Not to mention the fear that I’d imagine he had that he would be associated with a child rapist and killer just because he played one in a movie.

[@TT-td3rj]

I could see how that could be true for like, a super villain in a marvel movie or something like that. But not a role like this.

[@Pualowkey]

Villains are fun to play until it involves rape and murder.

[@maryellengrayberg9146]

Stanley Tucci was great in the movie but, he was a horrible human being. I thought his death in the movie was surprisingly unexpected and quick. It just speaks to his being a Consummate professional.

The dog sensed his evil a mile away ...they know things 🧐

[@EphemeralProductions]

stanley is so cute and hot!!! :)

[@samknapp8547]

Turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins it’s the most important

[@AlylovesDP]

why

[@mari-greciaodal2436]

i'd think it's to remind children how really are if they happen to meet very, very bad people, who prevent them from realizing they are in true and awful danger. and the movie succeeds in doing just that!

[@Vigilante311]

Hes acting like as if he had to really murder a kid, great performance though
