I had the pleasure and honor to sit down with the awesome and talented Sam Coleman who you all know as Wyllis from Game of Thrones, but we didn’t speak about that at all during this interview. Sorry.
I wanted to get to know him and his character ‘Bud’from the movie Leatherface, his aspect from the movie and knowing what it was like to film such a great movie. As I mentioned, I love origin stories. Especially origin stories about horror icons; how did it all start and who is the killer.
Sam was able to tell us all of that and he mentioned that he had a lot of fun playing his part alongside Stephen Dorff and Lili Taylor. He described how cold it was filing in Bulgaria and how they had to make it look like a hot summer in Texas. Hollywood magic is what I would describe… But you cannot have that magic without the cast and crew.
Am I a little disappointed that Bud didn’t turn out to be Leatherface? Of course I am – but it was the director’s intention to trick the audience into believing that. I tip my hat to you, Sir. Well done…
Overall, Sam is a phenomenal and talented actor. I am 100% positive that no matter what career he chooses to pursue, there will be no doubt that he will excel. Great guest and I recommend him to be a guest on anypodcast.
