'I'd just come back from school, and I was like, 'Ugh, I'm so tired. I hate science!'' says the young British actor about the day he found out he had won a role in Taika Waititi's satire.
"I'd just come back from school, and I was like, 'Ugh, I'm so tired. I hate science!'" says the young British actor about the day he found out he had won a role in Taika Waititi's satire.
Archie Yates plays the scene-stealing Yorki, the adorable straight-shooting best friend of lead character Jojo , in Taika Waititi'sYates remembers the day he found out he won his first ever acting role: "I'd just come back from school, and I was like, 'Ugh, I'm so tired. I hate science!'" He adds, "And then my mum told me I got the part. I was so excited that I used all the rest of my energy to run back downstairs, eat a grape, come back up and [scream].
The movie centers on Jojo, a 10-year-old in the Hitler Youth who finds out his mother is hiding a Jewish girl and must figure out what to do with the help of his imaginary best friend, Adolf Hitler . Yorki is Jojo's best friend and, outside the imaginary fuhrer, his closest confidant. During his three weeks on the production, one of Yates' favorite scenes to film took place at the Hitler Youth camp, when the young recruits were tasked with burning a large pile of books. But hindsight has given him a different outlook on the sequence.
