Mark Wahlberg is unleashed by director Peter Berg in Mile 22. Playing the unabashedly unsavory hero Jimmy Silva, Wahlberg gives a high-wired performance that never runs out of gas. If you like your Wahlberg fast and loud, Mile 22 has the performance for you.

Wahlberg’s work is reminiscent of some of his great supporting turns where he gets to play a character a little off-center and let loose. He makes Jimmy Silva feel like a supporting character that happens to be the star of the movie. The role is not too far off from the idea of a hothead character like Tommy from I Heart Huckabees (one of Wahlberg’s greatest achievement in my book) becoming an action hero for the U.S. government. The actor recently spoke to us about his fourth collaboration with Peter Berg, his very impressive work ethic, box office, and more.

Jimmy Silva doesn’t feel like the typical hero of a movie who saves the day.

Absolutely. That’s what we were looking for.

How do you prepare to play a character like that before shooting, who’s always at an 11?

When we talk about what I had to do to prepare, I just had to make sure that I could come with that energy every day and stay on like that. Because I’m a pretty mellow guy. I usually spend most of my energy before 8:00 in the morning, and that’s before I get to the set. So then to be able to turn that up, to crank that up even higher. But you know, Pete and I, we made three other films, they’re all based on true stories and tragic events. This was our idea going and having a good time.

What do you usually do before you get to set? You said you spend most of your energy before shooting, so what makes you feel ready to shoot? 

So I’d get up about 1:30, 2:00 in the morning and go work out. Then in a perfect world, if the weather was good, I’d go play golf at like 5:00, crack of dawn, first light. Play about 18 holes and then come to the set. And then eat and start shooting. But the great thing about Pete is, I don’t think we ever shot a 10-hour day. Because even if we’re doing 5, 10 pages of stuff, because it’s handheld and everything, he’ll give us time. He’ll give the crew time to light, but then there’s no marks or nothing, we just kind of go. We shoot pretty quickly, so usually like a six, seven hour day. And then go home early, eat a meal, go to bed and get ready for the next day.

Is that speed how you prefer to work? I always imagine working that fast, you go by instinct and don’t second-guess much. 

No, but we’re also…we spent so much time in the development stage, the pre-production, that we know what we want. I spend so much time preparing that I know the script inside and out. I read it out loud at least four times a day. And then even the stuff we’ve already shot, so I know exactly where we are if we’re not shooting in continuity, I’m still on top of it. So I’m kind of like the continuity script supervisor for Pete, because he’ll be like, “Oh let’s do this.” And I’ll be like, “We did this whole monologue in this other scene, you know.” And he’s like, “Oh yeah, you’re right, you’re right.” I’m prepared, but we still have time to try things. You know we can do what’s on the page and also throw that out the window and be able to try stuff. So that’s where the preparation is key. If you show up and you’re like “okay, let’s figure this out,” you’re screwed. You’re gonna be there for 16 hours. But if you’re prepared, you’re ready to go, you can kind of get in and bang it out. And then save more time for the next day.

In the original script, Jimmy Silva was more of a supporting character and a villain. Did you get to read that draft? 

Yeah, yeah. I committed to making that movie right away. I love the character and I loved the idea of playing this kind of villain and just getting in there and tearing it up. And then it just kind of evolved into Jimmy’s story, or Jimmy being the central character and then…I still didn’t want to try then to soften him up or dumb him down. I wanted him to be the same kind of abrasive, unapologetic guy. I’ve always looked at Tommy Lee Jones from The Fugitive. This guy’s got a job to do. He doesn’t give a shit who’s right, who’s wrong, or anything in between. It’s the job and that’s it.

Have you ever used any other performances, like Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive, as a reference for a performance? 

Yeah, it depends. There are things where there are no real references. And you know, or if you have a true story, playing a real person, you’ve got that to go on. Even like The Fighter, I would dissect every other fight film that was ever made. For various reasons, to see how the fights were shot, how realistic and believable they were. But yeah, it’s nice to have some sort of reference.

Did you speak with any consultants on the film about how someone like Jimmy Silva would act and operate? 

We had some guys, former CIA guys that were consultants on the film. Lea Carpenter, our writer, she has vast knowledge of this whole world: CIA, Overwatch, Brown Branch, all of these various organizations and pieces of CIA and government. I don’t know how she’s had access to all of this information, but she does. So it was all right there on the page. And then when we went to Bogotá, we went to the US Embassy, we thought, “okay, we’ll get to see some guys that are active and on the job. You know they definitely live and exist here.” There were rooms where people would open the doors, stick their head out and say, “Oh Mark and Pete are here,” and they’d wave and that was the extent of it. We didn’t get to talk to them, they kept them all pretty much away from us.

Mile 22 trailer

Peter Berg shoots very immediate, up close action. 

Yeah, you feel like you’re in the middle of it.

Knowing the camera is gonna be that close to your face, especially during dialogue scenes, does that change how you work at all? 

No, it doesn’t. Jacques [Jouffret] was the DP on this film and has also been the main operator on all the films that I’ve done with Pete. All the films that I’ve done with Bay. Even Invincible I worked with Jacques so much, we have this ability to kind of dance. If there’s something that’s got to come into frame or the lighting is bad, he’ll kind of direct me in one direction while I can kind of push him in another direction. We always just keep going and keep rolling until somebody will yell cut. Even like that tracking shot in Lone Survivor, after we decided to let the guys go and we’re all kind of walking up the hill and I’ve got the rear and I’m doing security in the back, I would just keep turning and stopping and looking and Jacques would keep following me and keep going. It ended up being one of the more memorable shots of the movie. It kind of tells the story of, “Oh no, we probably made the wrong decision but I don’t want the blood of these kids on my hand, I’d rather go and fight and do that sort of thing.” We’ve created a lot of moments like that.

I’ve talked to some actors who don’t seem to care about the technical side, but you seem more mindful of it. 

Of course. You’ve got to know what everybody’s doing, why they’re doing it, and respect what they have to do. Yeah, a lot of actors think it’s just about the acting. If all those guys just walked away, you’d be doing a one man play on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard there. You know, it takes a lot. Even the first time I made a movie I was always fascinated by the process, what was happening behind the camera. Who everybody was and what their responsibilities were. So yeah, being aware of those sort of things, absolutely.

You produced Mile 22 and started producing more heavily the last few years. Does producing influence the acting choices you make?

For sure, for sure. We like working with people that we know and that we trust, that we can count on, and are reliable, really good at what they do.

You’ve worked with Michael Bay, David O. Russell, and James Gray a few times in addition to Peter Berg. What usually makes you comfortable with a director, knowing you’re in good hands?

If it’s somebody I know and trust, fantastic. I’ll be there to service your vision. You know guys who have a very specific vision, they know what they want, they know that I can deliver what they want. If not, I’d rather just take the helm than [put] my career in somebody else’s hands who’s unsure of what they’re doing and can wind up being a disaster.

It sounds like you and Peter Berg were on the same page from the beginning, but does making four movies with the same director change in any way how you approach your work?

Yeah, I think we just learned a lot from each other. We rely on each other quite a bit. We also push and motivate each other to work hard and be better. But yeah, you know it’s funny because you get spoiled working with Pete and the way that he shoots and the way that he…because he was an actor, so he creates this environment for you to be at your most creative and productive. And then you go on other sets and it’s just like, okay. It’s beauty lighting, we’ve got to set up this dolly, and you know, you’re in your trailer. That stuff just makes me crazy.

You and Peter Berg are very into sports as well. I imagine you relate there. 

Well, aside from us having complete opposite tastes in football teams. He’s a Giants fan, and I’m a Patriots fan. Giants have beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl. He never lets me live that down. But no, in all sports across the board. And just being guys, guys being dads, having really close relationship with our dads. A lot of those things. We have so much more in common.

Are you looking forward to pre-season?

Absolutely. Well, I’m looking forward to the regular season. The summer is just so slow. World Cup was great; it gave me something to kind of watch and pay attention to. But if it’s just baseball then it’s pretty bad. And the Red Sox are doing fantastic. They’ve got the best record in major leagues. But I don’t really watch other than to make sure that they’re staying ahead of the Yankees. The four and a half games that they’re up, I don’t really want to watch until playoff time. Football makes the year go by quickly.

Yeah, it gives you something to look forward to.

Yeah, you got the Sunday game, you got a Thursday game. You got a lot going on during the week. Usually I’m shooting during football season so it makes the weeks go by quicker.

What’s opening weekend of Mile 22 going to be like for you? How important is the box office performance of a movie for you?

Well, I would say as a guy who’s name is above the title and as a producer of the movie, you know STX is spending a lot of money to make this movie, I want to make sure that it’s as successful as possible. The more people see it, probably the more interest there’ll be in doing another one. So you can say that you don’t care…I mean, I only read the reviews that she’ll [referring to his publicist] send me that are the good ones. Unless it’s just a really bad one that I heard about, I can’t help taking a peek at. But you can’t help but care. But it is what it is. You go up, you take a swing, we’ve done everything that we could to make the best possible version of the movie, and then do as much as we can to get the awareness out there, and drive people to the theaters.

People have a lot of choices. They can go catch the movie later on on pay TV, or whatever they want to do. And you got to create unique and interesting stories that people want to go and discover. Maybe opening weekend is not the most important thing if you have a movie that has legs. I’ve had movies that don’t open like gangbusters, but they had legs and they go and they make a profit. And I’ve had movies that’ll open number one at thirty million dollars and still won’t break even. So it’s all important to me, that’s for sure.

I certainly care about all of it, because you know these guys have trusted us to go and make this movie and hopefully they’re gonna make a profit on their investment. And I understand that, I’m a businessman. So yeah, you want to win, every chance.

Imagine you’re staring down the barrel of a gun, and the man pulling the trigger is the guy who played Stefon on Saturday Night Live. Of course in the world of Barry, no one knows Bill Hader from TV and he’s playing Barry, a professional hitman. On a job in L.A., Barry discovers an acting class taught by Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler) and decides he wants to give up the killing business to explore this new field. Suffice it to say, the hitman is not a business you leave by simply giving your two weeks notice.

Hader and Silicon Valley producer Alec Berg created Barry. They spoke with /Film about the dark, violent crime comedy. Barry premieres Sunday, March 25 on HBO after the season premiere of Silicon Valley.

What came first, the hitman or the acting class?

Hader: Hitman. I went, “What if I played a hitman?” and Alec went, “Ugh.” But we talked about it more and I said, “Well, it’s kind of more grounded and real, not just a glib thing you’ve seen a bunch, like the guy in the skinny tie with two guns.”

Berg: We also thought there was something really interesting about somebody who has a skill set that makes them really good at something that they derive absolutely no pleasure from at all.

Hader: It actually is hurting them.

Berg: And then they happen on something that they might be terrible at but they kind of love it.

I can relate to that. Being an entertainment journalist is a great job, but I hate doing lists. I happen to be good at lists so if people need lists I end up doing lists to pay the bills. Is there a corresponding thing for you, there are performances they need that you can give, or shows you can develop that they want?

Hader: Yeah, exactly. It would be like if your lists destroyed people’s lives.

Berg: But that’s what’s kind of fun I think. It’s hopefully what people get behind and why they root for the character. He doesn’t really know too much about it but he does have this kind of innate sense that what he’s doing for a living is not good for him and it’s definitely not good for those people that he’s killing. He has this sense of there has to be some other way.

If you started with the hitman, was part of it that no one would cast you as an action hero and you wanted to do that?

Hader: Exactly. “We want to see you as a sad sack hitman” was not a thing I was ever put on the list for so I went, “I’m going to write my own version of that.” Even when we told HBO, I was like, “What if I was a hitman?” They were like, “Um, you?”

Berg: We kind of always approach the hitman world like he’s a traveling salesman or something where. Without maki it depressing, it should feel like a dead end job where he has to travel through regional airports. He derives absolutely no pleasure from it at all. We never wanted to shoot the violence in any kind of cool [way].

Hader: No, we didn’t want the violence to be cool at all. It should be just what it is which is kind of sad and abrupt and cruel and terrible. And seeing how his violence affects other people. These bad people he kills, they have relatives and loved ones. He’s kind of realizing, “Jesus, what did I do?”

What was the tone you wanted to hit with Barry?

Hader: That was what we talked about most of the time. What’s the tone of this? It really was just kind of trial and error of what can you sustain and can you still be funny after this scene? Or, vice versa. A lot of that was in the writing and editing, just going, “Gosh, we had this scene but now it feels a little too rough. Maybe dial back this.”

Berg: I think we talked about Fargo is definitely a movie that is really funny but also really violent and dark.

Hader: Boogie Nights was another one that we talked about, especially the acting world.

Berg: The kind of group of misfits who find each other.

Hader: That kind of story where it can be really funny one minute and the next minute be really heartbreaking. Those were the benchmarks I guess.

Does the tone evolve over the first season?

Hader: I would say it gets a little bit more suspenseful.

Berg: Yeah, but I wonder. It’s interesting, I think that’s a function of the story as well. There are more plates spinning.

Hader: He constantly gets more plates spinning and then when one plate breaks, five more appear. He’s constantly trying to juggle all these things.

Is Henry Winkler’s character based on any of your acting teachers?

Hader: No. I didn’t really have any. I just went to an improv class in L.A. so my teachers were all really nice. No, this was more we were just talking about certain types of people, an out of work actor kind of guy. In that theater, he’s God but then the minute he leaves, he’s just an out of work actor. We just thought that was an interesting character for him to play. We always had Henry pretty early on in our minds to play that part. Then we visited some acting classes and had seen the way the teacher would work with them and sometimes would break them down and make them cry, something really awful to get a performance out of them.

Berg: And then the actor who was sobbing at the end of the exercise would be incredibly grateful to this person who had just emotionally beat the snot out of them.

Hader: That was very weird.

Berg: “Thank you so much. That was amazing.” It’s a really interesting Stockholm Syndrome kind of relationship. Again, we did a bunch of research. There’s Stella Adler and a lot of these kind of larger than life acting gurus.

Have any pages of Cousineau’s book been written?

Hader: There was, props wrote some of it and we didn’t realize that props had written any of it until there was a closeup in the edit bay and our editor started laughing really hard. We go, “What?” He said, “Did you read what was in here?” We hadn’t read it. Just his story, because it’s him writing it, it was just in his voice. That’s what happens when you have really funny props people who just totally got the character and just sat down. I think no one would see unless you paused it.

Did it make the cut?

Berg: I think so.

Hader: It’s in there for like three seconds.

Will we see more of Cousineau outside of class?

Hader: Yeah, you see a little bit more of him outside of class.

Are you picking the monologues and scenes for the classroom that you would actually like to perform?

Hader: No. The thing in the pilot with Ryan (Tyler Jacob Moore), that monologue, that was something Alec saw a guy do in an acting class. He did the Gary Oldman True Romance scene. The stuff in episode four, Glengarry Glenn Ross, that was almost more out of necessity for what the scene needed to do.

Berg: It’s chicken and the egg. Sometimes we just think this would be a hilarious thing to have somebody do in the scene and sometimes it’s like we need a piece that lets Barry explore a certain area, or this story is about this so what if there were something in the class that deals with that same issue in some way?

Hader: Even the actors, because they’re all actors, when we were doing the pilot, Sarah Goldberg was doing a different monologue and we couldn’t get it because it’s really expensive. Then she texted, “In my acting class, everyone did that monologue from Magnolia, Julianne Moore. Everyone did that scene.” We never would have thought of that but she’s like, “Oh, I have experiences, either that or Girl, Interrupted.” There’s all these kind of go to monologues that acting classes do so we thought that was fun.
