“Movies and plays change all the time. I like to welcome young actors and I like to learn from them. it’s a two way thing”
At the 42° Torino Film Festival directed by Giulio Base, Matthew Broderick is among the actors receiving the famous festival prize, Stella della Mole.
The actor is in Torino to also introduce to the audience one of the films of the Marlon Brando retrospective: “The Freshman“
In the 1980’s film by Andrew Bergman, Broderick plays a naive young cinema student at the New York University who, accidentally, ends up “working” for Carmine Sabatini ( Brando) who is the spitting image of Vito Corleone from “TheGodfather“.
After endless requests to play the part of the mafioso, Brando eventually gave in and agreed to take part in a comical parody of his performance in the iconic film by Francis Ford Coppola.
Matthew Broderick talks about his experience on set with Brando and the things he learned from this acting legend.
Speaking of great actors, Broderick follows the example of the first actor he played with on the big screen: Jason Robards. He taught the War Game actor to make all feel part of the team, that alla actors are on the same level and you can always learn from each other.
“Movies and plays change all the time. I like to welcome young actors and I like to learn from them. it’s a two way thing” Broderick states.
Among the first films Broderick acted in, there’s the unforgettable and 80’s fundamental movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off“. The actor tells us more about working on set with legendary director John Hughes.
