Mark Hamill Interview: Making Life of Chuck with Benjamin Pajak & The Long Walk Tease
21The latest Stephen King adaptation is making its way into theaters this weekend, with The Life of Chuck exploring the life of Charles "Chuck" Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death and working backwards to his mysterious childhood. With Mike Flanagan in the director's chair, the film is already earning widespread acclaim and positive reviews, currently sitting at an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing Flanagan's last King adaptation, Doctor Sleep.
At the heart of The Life of Chuck is Tom Hiddleston, who anchors the narrative as the titular character. Joining Hiddleston in the cast to portray key roles in Chuck's life are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, Kate Siegel, Mia Sara, Carl Lumbly, David Dastmalchian, Rahul Kohli, and more. Rounding out the ensemble cast are Mark Hamill as Albie Krantz, Chuck's grandfather, and Broadway performer Benjamin Pajak, in his feature debut, as a younger Chuck.
While talking with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Hamill sings Pajak's praises, touching on how multi-talented the young performer is and his infectious enthusiasm. Pajak was quick to return the praise, discussing how fun working with Hamill was in his first film opportunity. Pajak also dives into the film's choreography and the notes he took from Hiddleston's own dance sequence, while Hamill touches on his work adapting another King story, The Long Walk.
