, Owen Kline makes his feature film debut behind the camera withRobert, an aspiring cartoonist
Kline hadn’t set out to be an actor like his parents Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline. He knew early on he wanted to work behind the scenes instead. But when he read for the role as Frank in Baumbach’s film fresh into his teens, he caught the attention of the famed filmmaker. “I wasn’t hesitant to [act] but I really wanted to be a filmmaker then,” explains Kline, from his apartment in Queens. “The reason I [decided to star in the film] was mainly because I loved Bob Yeoman’s work, who shot it.
In the film, Robert’s actions come off at times as nonsensical and stubborn. Rather than applying to an art school and living comfortably in an affluent suburban neighborhood, he moves into the boiler room, never mind that he has to share a room with a stranger. But even when things keep going wrong, Robert masks his insecurities and cluelessness with a know-it-all attitude. For Kline, it was challenging to find an actor who could peel back the layers to the character.
