He and Thomas Haden Church have a great goofball southern fried rhythm that they drop into every time they share a scene in the film, and it’s one of the reasons I really enjoyed the picture. He seems proud of “Killer Joe,” and he should be. I think he’s the sort of guy who really internalizes these experiences he has, and he’s still pretty young, still developing into the actor he’ll eventually be. I interviewed him for “Speed,” and for “Into The Wild,” and he seems to be a different person each time we come back together to discuss a new film. It seems like he’s far more interested in exploring the darker, stranger corners of filmmaking, and that he’s good at it. I’m not sure he’d survive a steady diet of giant tentpole films. I think Hirsch has real talent, and maybe the commercial failure of “Speed Racer” was the best thing for him. Hirsch has made interesting choices so far in his career, and I’m glad to see him working with someone like William Friedkin.


I know that for my own kids, it’s one of the films that are just part of their ongoing canon, in the regular rotation, and beloved. Hirsch told me he’s certainly heard from young fans more and more, and he seemed pleased to hear that the film is not fading.
