Let me give you a little Mendelsohn 101: I came up in television in the early- to mid- 1980s in Australia.
From Ben Mendelsohn
I think there's a lot of mythos about what's required in acting.
I have an intensive relationship with the thing that I'm working on, and I hope that comes through. It's better for me to not worry about the things I can't fix once they're done.
It's good to surf whatever waves are going on right there as they're happening.
'Slow West' is a western, and it's sort of a twist on the genre stylistically, I think, from what I understand going in.
One of my earlier films is 'Quigley Down Under.' That was early on in my career, and that was horsey.
You think of 'Outlaw Josey Wales,' you immediately think of the old Indian guy, Sondra Locke, the old lady with the glasses, beautiful old actress.
For me it's a compliment, playing baddie characters. I take it as a compliment.
