Wyatt Russell opens up about getting into the mindset of a character who is “somewhat of a sociopath” in UndertheBannerofHeaven and his experience in unlikable roles
“Being that it’s a true story, you don’t want to veer too far off of what the character was like,” Russell tells of the true-crime drama, which is based on the Jon Krakauer bestseller. “I had a pretty rooted idea of what Dan was like because there was a lot of source material that was out there about Dan. So, you want to keep it as authentic to what you believe the reality is and was.”
One of the things that I came across was my own feeling or finding, probably about halfway through, that I don’t think Dan even really knew what he was doing. I think Dan’s just a manipulative person who wanted his dad to love him and wanted to feel secure in the afterlife. He wanted to have some sort of security in life, and that was that, “All I have to do is be as true to the text as possible” thinking, and that assuaged a lot of his fears.
With Dan, I think it all comes back to Dad. He wanted to please Dad. He wanted his dad to love him and wanted his dad to think he was doing a good job. If his dad would have been like, “You’re doing a great job, man. I know it’s hard, but you’re doing great. You’re dope,” I think things would have been very different. I think Dan’s brain and personality is also set up to be somewhat of a sociopath in a lot of ways. So, interesting guy, I mean, can’t say he’s not interesting. But, not a nice guy.
I have to understand the thought process of the line. Otherwise, it’s just remembering words, and then it doesn’t come out as good. This was really hard because I didn’t understand it. I’m not Mormon. I don’t know anything about it.
