Darren Criss on how Steven Spielberg inspired his Hollywood character
"The scene where he says, 'I coulda been a contender,' I just watched that over and over again. It's shot so simply and there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, and it just feels like another scene. But the writing and acting really hit home," he reflects.
While all of their characters were only loosely inspired by these real Hollywood legends, the cast now has a deep affection for the era and a wish list of real figures they'd like to portray someday. While Picking is happy to stick with Rock Hudson, others, as discussed in the EW Around the Table video above, get more creative.
