 We wondered still though how the actor felt about having to play a different and much more unsympathetic character in the series second time around. “I was disappointed, I’m going to be honest. I threw a temper tantrum, to no avail. So they throw me this bone. They came to this guy,” Meloni initially jokes, “Yeah, you know, very happy. I was very sad that I didn’t get to live with them as long as Freakshow.” Now playing two different characters in the same series of movies, we wondered what it if there was anything that Chris himself personally brought to each of the characters he played. “[For Freakshow], I added the religious fervor thing, but I got it off them, which is when I tell them, ‘Go in there. Have some tea. Raid the fridge. Fuck my wife. Just don’t do anything the good Lord wouldn’t do.’ Chris claims, “I was in there. I guess it was something outlandish that means something. To me, I have a great time parsing their writing, making it as big and meaningful as I want it to be and it hits for me.” ”So that’s what happened with the Ku Klux Klan guy,” he adds, “The first words out of my mouth, if you seen the movie, you know what they are. It’s so outlandish, it’s so wrong, I gave the guy Tourette’s syndrome, which in so, but instead of barking out curse words, he barks out racial epithets. I don’t know if it’s in the movie, but it’s that sort of thing that it’s their writing that helps me build a larger aspect of the character.” With that in mind, we asked the actor how he prepared for a character like The Penis Wizard. “Well, I got to tell you, I wrote down all the racial epithets I could think of,” he remarked, “And I actually even called friends. But there you are in the cold, dark woods of Shreveport and there’s a black guy and there’s a Chinese dude and they’re like surrounded by Jews (laughing). I was like, ‘They’re going to kick my ass after this.’ So it was a lot of fun. It’s all in good fun, people.” As accomplished as he’s proven to be with comedic roles, Chris’ greatest impact on Hollywood thus far is still his dramatic roles, particularly his one on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. We wondered how it’s impacted him personally doing a show based on real-life cases of people on the receiving end of some of the most brutal crimes imaginable. “Yeah, here are the facts about that,” Meloni says, “Not shocked, but a little saddened and a little disheartened, especially when I have to deal with things about children, because there’s nothing funny about it. And the sad aspect of it is that if you talk to real S.V.U. detectives, they’ll tell you shit that will make your teeth ... |
