Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Martin Harris (Actor, Writer, Producer, Plays Boravian General in James Gunn’s Superman)

“I feel like if I go back to the initial audition I did for this film, there’s not that much information given to the actor about the project and the role. But I paid attention to one little detail that told me that he works for a tyrant. And because I grew up in communism - I grew up in the 80’s in Poland and East Germany, both communist countries - so I experienced communism til I was about 11 years old. I kind of had a feeling, you know, like, what it is to work for a tyrant, what it is to work for a dictator, and being a general, being the head of the army. I had to show toughness in front of other people, but absolute and complete obedience in front of him.” — Martin Harris (Actor, Writer, Producer, Plays Boravian General in James Gunn’s Superman)
