Post-Succession, Nicholas Braun is Moving on in a Big Way with ‘Saturday Night’
Manage episode 444285478 series 3394374
There’s already a lot of pressure playing one character based on a real person, but two? And in the same movie? That’s exactly what Nicholas Braun does in Saturday Night (October 11), playing both Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman as they, and the rest of the cast, prepare for the first live taping of Saturday Night Live. But Braun wasn’t really intimidated. “I felt really privileged to get to be both of those guys,” and just wanted to “not be a caricature.” Just like the original SNL, Saturday Night’s “cast was just stacked.” And even though Braun had never worked with any of them before, he quickly “learned how perfect they were for the part, how much research every single person did. They know how important this movie is and getting this right. Just a really impressive group of actors.” If he had to choose his favorite era of SNL, “it would be the Will Ferrell era. Tim Meadows, Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan.” Seeking new roles and fresh off his run as Greg on Succession, portraying Henson and Kaufman couldn’t be more different from anything he’s ever done.
