'Waves' duo Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Taylor Russell on the heartrending family drama of the year
Kelvin Harrison Jr., Sterling K. Brown and Lucas Hedges drive “Waves,” an emotionally turbulent drama about an African American family in South Florida.“We’re both intense people,” Russell said during a recent stop in Los Angeles, glancing at Harrison seated next to her, who nodded in agreement. “We both get swept up in our brains. I think Kelvin and I think a lot about things and overthink situations. It’s not always aligned with each other, but we are kind of brother-and-sisterly in real life.
There were getting-to-know-you hangouts before then too, going shopping and dancing and rollerblading in L.A. after their first real meeting, over deep conversation at Hugo’s. You can see why, at 25, Harrison and Russell are two of the fastest-rising stars of their generation. Propelled by their heart-wrenching performances and told in two parts — one a dizzying frenzy of distress, the other a search for peace — “Waves” becomes a mesmeric meditation on devastation and healing and belongs to them both.
Russell agreed. “So many times as an actor you’re like, ‘What am I doing? Do my actions have an impact? Is this all vanity, or is it self-indulgent?’” she said. “And then we have these screenings where these kids are just baring their souls after seeing this movie, and it shocks you into the present. You feel like, ‘OK, this is really important.’ And we’re lucky to be a part of that.
“What made me really want to get into it was texting with [Shults], having conversations about our home life, growing up, what our relationships with our parents were like, what our romantic relationships were like,” said Harrison, noting that his previous films, likeexplored race in more direct ways. “He’s white, I’m black ... but there were so many universal truths between us both. And it just made me feel seen, and not alone.
