NEW YORK—Renowned British theater director Rupert Goold recently directed his first film, a mild mystery-thriller/courtroom drama based on a true story, starring James Franco and Jonah Hill.
We met in Soho’s funky-posh Crosby Street Hotel to discuss the film, aptly named “True Story.”
Goold and I immediately discovered we'd both seen the Arthur Miller play “A View from the Bridge,” in 1986, starring British stage giant Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in “Harry Potter”) at London’s National Theatre. It inspired me to become an actor.
I've always had too much of the third eye.
