We speak with Confession star Michael Ironside about his new crime thriller, the important subject matter of its story, and why it's one of the movies he's proudest of:
The truth will always find its way to the light, even if through shady methods, as is the case in Confession. The thriller centers on an ambitious district attorney who delves into a case of a woman accusing multiple men of sexual assault, only to fall down a rabbit hole of previous victims and murders.
Michael Ironside: I get a lot of projects sent to me over the years, I'm at that stage in my career where I've got more time behind me than I do in front of me, and I'm trying to be very careful about what I choose to do. There's no way to delicately tell this, when I was in my mid 40s, our youngest was about 14 at the time, our daughter Finley, and I thought I should have a conversation with her about dating and stuff like that.
And in some cases, not just men, it's women treat other women, like, I have a friend who was sexually assaulted when she went to the emergency ward to get treated and stuff, the police took her, the female doctor said, "Where were you drinking, and What the hell were you wearing?" And I went, "Wow." So the subject matter, when it was sent to me, I thought is a story that has to be told.
The character of Randall is a vilified kind of character, who's born with a whole bloody silver spoon and knife and fork in his mouth. Played by Sterling Beaumon, he does a wonderful job playing that look-down-your-nose-at-women [character], the idea that "I want to marry a virgin, but she's a slut" sort of attitude. It's a subject matter that needs to be addressed, and it's done, I think, in a very entertaining way.
He's a lead actor, he's done a lot of films, he came up and did that one bit because he liked the material. Jon Keeyes, one of the producers, asked him if he would do it, he said, "Absolutely." The wonderful Rob Giumarra, who plays my partner, didn't want to didn't make his character big, he didn't make it about him, he basically delivered a performance within the realms of what he was given and he made it very real.
Michael Ironside: Well, Clark's an incredibly attractive young lady, and I'm well in to my latter years, I just turned 73. I pretty well come to work as the character, and then I try and throw a raincoat over me in between shots, a binky, sort of like a soother, because nobody wants to deal with that character all day long, especially some of the films I've played.
