'To be able to get the best out of a creative crew and cast, you have to know yourself and find peace in who you are and accept your flaws.'
The Big Picture Sung Kang is soaring as an actor. Not only did he recently join the Star Wars franchise via Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he’s also a fan-favorite in one of the biggest film series of all time, Fast and Furious. Clearly Kang’s found great success in the industry as an actor, but he’s never quite been able to shake something he noticed back when he was first starting his career; there was a lack of opportunity.
PERRI NEMIROFF: Going back to the very beginning of your directing ambitions, do you remember the day or maybe even the specific thing that happened that first made you think to yourself, “I have to direct a feature film?” And I think when you sit down with somebody, especially when it comes down to investing money into you, it is show business. There's a business behind this. People have to feel confident that you're gonna be able to execute, you're gonna be able to lead this army and finish the product. So, it's not easy. If it was easy, everybody would be directing as well.
KANG: The concept and the mastery of leadership was something that I think I just had a theory of what it took to lead a creative army to a finished project.
There's a lot of times as an actor you just have to worry about yourself, right? It's not just about you, it's about the whole, the project as a whole. And I think when you have a member of the team that is also watching out for you, is there thinking a few steps ahead for you, it just helps. So it's calmed me down a lot. I think being a director just matures you a lot, especially at my age, you know? It's definitely changed my perspective as an actor.
I remember I got to hang out with Robert Rodriguez at his home. He invited the cast over, and he taught me something about service is that when the leader is willing to serve you and he's there to fan those creative juices, if you will – I went over to his house and he made us pizza. He didn't just make us pizza, he explained why he uses the certain type of flour and the type of water and his clay oven and the honey that he uses for the pizza and the type of cheese.
KANG: There's a sequence in the film that's an homage to the American Werewolf in London, the werewolf transformation, that the character Lucy has. I knew it was gonna be challenging because time is our enemy, money is our enemy, but because we were blessed with Gabriel Bartalos’ experience and his passion for the practical effects, and he was also a Rick Baker disciple.
