Tyson Ritter on 'Prisoner's Daughter' and Touring with All-American Rejects
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Prisoner’s Daughter.]From director Catherine Hardwicke and screenwriter Mark Bacci, the family drama Prisoner’s Daughter finds Max needing to reunite with his estranged daughter Maxine , in order to reside with her and her son Ezra on compassionate release after 12 years in prison.
TYSON RITTER: She called me and was like, “Tyson, we can’t find this guy. I know that you just had a kid. I don’t know if you’d be in. I don’t know if this is something you’d want to take on because it’s a really dark character that has a lot of trouble. We can’t find him, and we’d love for you to come in and read for it.” I was two weeks into my wife having given birth to our son. I was free. I was wide open. There’s something that happens, when you have a child. It was my first.
The ending of the film is quite a series of events. It’s so interesting when you know, from the beginning, that Brian Cox’s character is terminal because know what his fate will be, but it definitely plays out different than what you expect.
RITTER: It was so surreal. I got this part literally mid-pandemic, or post mid-pandemic, so I had been caged. I had been very removed from the real world and was watching Succession. And also with Agamemnon in Troy and even Super Troopers, this guy was somebody who I had grown up watching. So, at the point in which I got this part, he was literally my favorite actor because of Logan Roy, and to immediately stand in front of him, four weeks after I get the part, that was a master class.
When I spoke to Brian Cox about this film, he told me that it’s important to him to have laughs on set, especially with something as heavy as this is. On the days that you were doing the most intense moments, what was the vibe like? Did he draw you into that? RITTER: When my band first grabbed a little success in the early 2000s, and then kept going, and I got to do things like being in The House Bunny, opposite Emma Stone, and then went on to do episodic television with Parenthood, and then going on to do a series like Preacher, it was just this gambit of roles. It’s just bizarre to have that, with a backdrop of being able to perform songs that people brought close to their hearts and made popular and made a success over the years.
