Star of the new Firestarter adaptation KurtwoodSmith talks finally venturing into the world of StephenKing.
✖ Over the course of his career, Kurtwood Smith has starred in a number of iconic projects, whether that be an action dystopia like RoboCop or a hilarious sitcom like That '70s Show, though the actor is heading into a new realm by finally starring in a Stephen King adaptation with the upcoming Firestarter.
ComicBook.com: What was your connection to either this story specifically or just in general to Stephen King before getting involved in this project? Well, they sent me the script, and I read the whole script, and I thought this,"This can be really good." And then if you take the combination of Stephen King and on top of that, you have a really good script ... I thought,"I like the script and it is from the Stephen King. This could be really big." And so I wanted to get involved with it. Pretty much that simple.
I had this character, and I had plenty of time to think about the character and to build a backstory for him, in terms of how he got to where he is at the end, what he is most frightened of, which, in that case, is that he could unleash a monster that could pretty much destroy the world. So for him, she's no longer a little girl, she is a creature that, and he's to blame, which makes him angry at himself, but also angry at people that won't accept it.
Oh, it was pretty much the way it was. I hadn't talked to Keith until we were on the set and there wasn't much to talk about. I said,"So where do you want me on this?" And he says,"How about right here?" And I said,"Okay, great. And Gloria [Reuben] is there." And,"Okay." And,"Are you serious about wearing a mask for the whole rehearsal?""Yes, I am.""Okay. Well, here we go." And that was that.
