November 12, 2013: Christopher Meloni on Playing Colonel Hardy in "Man of Steel"

Christopher Meloni RollingStone.com has published their interview with actor Christopher Meloni in which he discusses playing Colonel Nathan Hardy in "Man of Steel". Here's a portion of the interview...

    How did you get involved with Man of Steel ?

    By the grace of the casting gods. Zack Snyder thought it was a good idea and I got offered the role. And I couldn't have been happier. It's not often that you have a C or D storyline that has a nice arc to it, and I thought that for a character that's not one of the top three guys, my journey was good. It had resonance.

    What's it like being a civilian in a superhero film?

    I arrived on set and I saw Henry Cavill in his Superman getup in ninety degree weather and I was like, "I'm glad you're Superman and I'm not." [Laughs] I actually felt really great that, as a quote-un-quote civilian - even though I'm a military guy - that, instead of the usual Batman-save-us-from-the-bad-guys stuff, they incorporated humans to have some value too.

    Even Lois has some great opportunities.

    Lois is no pushover.

    You got to deliver the film's best line - "a good death is its own reward."

    And how did that feel? After take fifty? Well I'll tell you. Everyone knew that this line had to have a certain distinct thing to it, so we toyed with a million different emotions and inflections and thoughts and feelings.
