Jackie Earle Haley Is Breaking Back Into Hollywood

from Talk Is Jericho · host Chris Jericho

Jackie Earle Haley shares stories from his 50 years in Hollywood, making the jump from child star to Oscar-nominated actor, and the wild road that took him from Bad News Bears to delivering pizzas before Sean Penn and Steve Zaillian pulled him back for All The King’s Men. He gets into the audition tape that relaunched his career, the intense process behind Little Children, and the emotional moment he learned he’d been nominated for an Academy Award. He remembers shooting Bad News Bears as Kelly Leak, riding motorcycles at 13, working with Walter Matthau and Tatum O’Neal, and carrying Breaking Training as a teenager. He breaks down playing Rorschach in Watchmen, goes deep on building his version of Freddy Krueger including the brutal daily make-up process, and shares why his new horror film Your Host let him go full “batshit crazy” in the best way possible.
