 Mike Vogel
Interview By: Dan Deevy
I first met Mike Vogel almost five years ago during his very first feature film press junket for the skateboarding flick, Grind and I made the following prediction; “If the movie [referring to the then upcoming, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre] has even half the promise and potential that this young actor does, it should be a quite film! Mike has all the makings of a highly sought after Hollywood star; he’s got the looks, the familiar boy next door quality and the natural charisma that audiences look for. My guess is we’ll be seeing a lot more of him in the near future!” Damn… I love being right! Since that interview Mike Vogel has gone on to star in film after film including what I still consider to be one of the scariest horror films ever, the afore mentioned 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the star studded follow up to The Graduate, Rumor Has It… with Jennifer Aniston, Shirley MacLaine and Kevin Costner and the blockbuster Richard Dreyfuss, Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas led Ocean Epic Poseidon. As I suspected, there’s no stopping this boy. He’s in it for the long haul. The then boy, now matured married man with baby to prove it, is currently starring in one of the most highly anticipated, most talked about films of 2008, J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield. Not only were we the fans kept in seemingly unending suspense as to what exactly he was working on, the auditioning actors were equally clueless! “We all thought it was Star Trek,” he admits. “We thought it was something completely different. When they told us it was a monster film I think panic set in; a very vaguely veiled panic. I’m sitting in the room with J.J. [Abrams] and Matt Reeves and Brain Burke and all the Bad Robot powerhouses and they’re talking about a monster film and I’m just wetting myself at this point because I’m thinking, ‘I’m never going to work again,’ ‘This is awful!’ But then you slap yourself and say, ‘OK wait a minute. This is J.J. Abrams. This is the Bad Robot team; these guys know what they’re doing.’ You then start to realize if there is anyone to take a ride with right now, it’s J.J. Abrams. The guy has the ‘Midas Touch.’” Aside from the reputation and impressive track record of the group assembled, Mike was also assured that this was not going to be a career wrecking ball of a monster film. “They told us in the room, ‘we’re doing this from a different stand point,’” he begins. ‘“The monster is going to be barely visible if ever, this is about a bunch of 20-soemthings trying to get out of Manhattan.’ The interesting thing is that none of us knew the parts we were ... |
