Like Tupac Shukar, he played in that movie ‘Juice,’ he played a tough gangster (Bishop), and then in real life, he kind of adapted that character, and became that guy. Sometimes you see actors play these roles, and in real life, they take on these roles, and act like it in real life. Sometimes people get caught up in what people see them as. It’s funny, because they’re just humans, we’re just humans, and they’re treated so differently. Nowadays, Hollywood actors are treated like royalty. It wasn’t like they were held on a high plateau-actors were kind of looked down on. I mean, a lot of these actors, if you think about it, if you go back to the Roman era, actors were not considered to be a glamorous thing. When the situation comes up at the end of the movie, I kind of run away, instead of being a man. I play an actor, and I made him a little more arrogant and a little more full of himself, and a little more selfish, I guess you can say. SR: It actually wasn’t really too much (of a stretch) because in real life, I do acting. SY: You play Pablo’s high school friend Kane, who recently garnered fame as a up-and-coming Hollywood actor. It feels like a cool party, but sometimes it’s a dark party. That’s what the movie shows, the dark side that exists. Then there’s all the drugs and there’s a lot of affairs and temptations, and it’s like Sin City. But the reality is that 99.9 percent of the people aren’t going to make it. Like you see all these beautiful girls in L.A., and they’re all trying to make it, and there’s so much competition. There are so many people who have to do other things. It’s the only place in the world where people come here, and their chances of making it are so small, so there are so many crushed dreams. You just see the final product in the movies, or with all these celebrities going shopping, with the paparazzi.īut what you don’t see is what this movie shows, which is there is a very dark side to Hollywood. So I think the movie is good at showing the dark side of Hollywood, which no body really sees. Everybody, at one point in their life, at least most people, want to be in the movies, or be famous for whatever reason. I think everybody around the world is enamored with Hollywood. Simon Rex (SR): Yes, I think that’s true. Do you feel that many people crave the Hollywood and celebrity lifestyle, and don’t realize how good their lives are at home? ShockYa (SY): ‘The Truth About Angels’ focuses on Pablo discovering the dark side of the world he once coveted, and in turn learning to appreciate his life at home. Rex discusses with us, among other things, why he was attracted to the role of Kane, and what it was like working with first time feature director Lichelli Lazar-Lea. As a struggling artist looking for his big break, Pablo goes to a Hollywood party with Kane, only to have his dreams slip away after being tempted by a mysterious party girl, Kristi, played by Dree Hemingway.
