 Emile Hirsch
Interview By: Dan Deevy
We’re not quite sure if it’s his boyish good looks, his laid back unaffected attitude or just his staggering acting talent; but there is something that makes us both love and admire the 23 year old Emile Hirsch. I personally think it’s the rare combination of all of those things that really makes him stand out among his peers. Born into an already artistic family Hirsch was able to pursue his love of acting at an early age and has enjoyed great success almost from his first step. At age 11 he scored his first guest appearance on a television show and from that point on it was show after show and then finally a jump to the big screen.

He’s not into cheaters he likes things done the right way and he’s got certain morals that he’s not willing to compromise no matter what. He sticks to the old fashion independent racing ways.” After playing the ultimate race car driver in one of the biggest movies of the year you’d assume that Emile came out the other side with a new level of driving expertise. But you’d be wrong. “I didn’t get behind the wheel of a car [once] the entire time I was in Europe,” he admits. “It was all green screen. It was crazy. It was like being in warehouses with green walls everywhere and imagining this whole fantasy world around you. It was a challenge. It was a mental challenge.” When all was said and done though the actor definitely saw the advantages to playing make believe for so long. “It is a pain,’ he laughs. ‘It’s a sacrifice you make but then you finally see the finished product and you’re like, ‘wow that looks amazing!’ little did you know that the actors when they |
