RELATED: Jon Bernthal, Shea Whigham and John Pollono on Their Pitch-Black Comedic Drama ‘Small Engine Repair’ Dewart in Take Shelter Whigham has a great relationship with indie auteur Jeff Nichols, as he perfectly fits within the writer/director’s emotionally authentic stories of America’s heartland. The arthouse disaster drama Take Shelter questions the norms of masculinity through the story of the sensitive father Curtis . Whigham plays the alternative, a pessimistic dude bro who questions Curtis’ vulnerable nature.
Jim in Knight of Cups It’s hard to keep track of how many actors pass in and out of Knight of Cups, which Terrence Malick reportedly shot without a completed script. Whigham humorously recalled his experiences working with Christian Bale on set, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Malick advised him that Bale “went off to become a writer, and you work with your hands.”
Gary Ruzak in Beirut Beirut is the type of old-fashioned spy thriller that Hollywood simply doesn’t make anymore. It’s the type of espionage thriller that benefits from taking itself seriously, and not catering to the masses with crowd pleasing moments. Whigham is memorable with his role as Gary Ruzack, a CIA agent who reluctantly agrees to pulling off a dangerous hostage situation during the Lebanese Civil War.
Gus Grissom in First Man First Man is more than just a standard recreation of events; it shows the terrifying danger of launching into space using new, and sometimes unreliable technology. Neil Armstrong has to reckon with potentially losing his life during the mission when the crew of the Apollo 1 perish in a test accident. Whigham makes the emotional death of the astronaut Gus Grissom a moment that raises the stakes.
