MIFV Interview Series - A Chat with Kurt Carley, the Godzilla '98 Suit Actor
from The Monster Island Film Vault · host Moonlighting Ninjas Media
In the second of the new interviews being released to the podcast feed today, Nathan sits down and, for the first time, interviews a Godzilla suit actor—but not the one you’d expect! Today, he chats with Kurt Carley, for a hot second in the infamous Godzilla (1998), directed by Roland Emmerich, played the divisive “G.I.N.O.” (“Godzilla In Name Only”) as a man in a rubber suit. Not CGI. Not mocap. But the conversation won’t stop there. Nathan will ask Mr. Carley about what got him into acting and his many other iconic roles. You’ve probably seen him and didn’t know about it! Watch the original video interview: https://youtube.com/live/c5bTwOA_-iQ.
