\n\tIf you haven\u2019t kept close tabs on Kyle Gallner\u2019s recent work, you\u2019re missing out on one of the most quietly compelling runs in independent film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWith standout turns in Strange<\/em> Darling<\/em>, Dinner in America<\/em>, The Passenger<\/em> and Adam Carter Rehmeier\u2019s new crime romance, Carolina<\/em> Caroline,<\/em> opposite Samara Weaving, the former child actor turned \u201cscream king\u201d continues to build a body of impressive leading man roles. Whether it\u2019s a charismatic hustler or an unhinged punk rocker, the Pennsylvania native makes it all look effortless. So why haven\u2019t the major studios given the 39-year-old a proper shot atop the call sheet at this particular stage in his career?<\/p>\n

\n\tGallner admits that his latter-day stretch of independent opportunities haven\u2019t come easy either. For Carolina<\/em> Caroline<\/em>, Rehmeier \u2014\u00a0who formed a deep bond with him by way of their cult classic, Dinner in America, <\/em>the first of their multiple collaborations \u2014\u00a0had to fight to cast him as Oliver Anderson, the charming, traveling con man who falls in love with Caroline Daniels (Weaving) during his pit stop in her small Texas hometown. Together, they hit the road as a double act, beginning with small-scale confidence games that evolve into a full-blown bank robbery.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Rehmeier] brought my name up from the jump. But the way Hollywood works, it doesn\u2019t always go that way. So there were actually a few [casting] iterations before I came on board,\u201d Gallner tells The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>in support of Carolina Caroline<\/em>\u2019s June 5 theatrical release. \u201cAdam kept pushing for me, and once the role opened up again, he pushed for me again. Producers are going to do what they have to do, but with patience and luck, the role finally came my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRehmeier, who\u2019s already shot an unannounced third film with Gallner, considers his performance in the nearly unanimously praised Caroline<\/em> to be reminiscent of Paul Newman or Steve McQueen. The filmmaker\u2019s last three films \u2014\u00a0Dinner in America<\/em>, Snack Shack<\/em> and Carolina<\/em> Caroline<\/em> \u2014\u00a0are not only united by their shared \u201cAmericana\u201d quality, but also their critical adoration. Thus, Gallner fears that his days as Rehmeier\u2019s go-to guy are coming to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s let me do roles and step into shoes that other people normally wouldn\u2019t let me do. With Dinner in America<\/em> and then Carolina<\/em> Caroline<\/em>, those are the kind of roles where producers go, \u2018No, no, no, not him.\u2019 But Adam has always stood up and said, \u2018No, he can do anything,’\u201d Gallner shares. \u201cSo it is a little heartbreaking because I know he\u2019s going to blow up and I know I\u2019m not always going to be right. I know I\u2019m not always going to be there. I may not be able to be hired on the movies that he\u2019s about to direct, and I have to share him with the world now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNext to Rehmeier, Gallner\u2019s Strange Darling<\/em> writer-director, JT Mollner, is his other greatest champion. Case in point, he just cast him in his Brie Larson-led and JJ Abrams-produced creature feature, Skeletons<\/em>, for Sony Pictures. \u201cJT has always had my back. It\u2019s incredibly satisfying to know that I have these people who believe in me and fight for me and push for me to be in their films. They really put their money where their mouth is,\u201d Gallner says.<\/p>\n

\n\tTime will tell if Carolina Caroline <\/em>will reposition Gallner for major studio-level lead roles. In the meantime, he\u2019ll keep going through the doors that open. For example, he and his Smile<\/em> co-star Sosie Bacon are reuniting on the big screen at the June 5 Tribeca premiere of their addiction drama, Cotton Fever<\/em>. Bacon, Strange Darling\u2019<\/em>s Willa Fitzgerald and Caroline<\/em>\u2019s Weaving all speak glowingly of their scene partner, with the latter recently telling THR<\/em>: \u201cI just adore [Kyle]. I could do a million movies with him. It\u2019s just so easy to go to work every day when it\u2019s with someone you love. When it\u2019s with someone who\u2019s a bloody ding-a-ling, it makes it feel like work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, during a conversation with THR<\/em>, Gallner also discusses the code of his con man character in Caroline<\/em>. Then he looks back on Mollner\u2019s battle to preserve the soul of Strange Darling<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\nYou and <\/strong>Samara Weaving<\/strong> are a really smart pairing in Carolina Caroline<\/em> because you\u2019ve both become ubiquitous figures across indie and genre cinema. You\u2019re counterparts in a lot of ways. Did you guys ever talk about your similar careers?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, we talked about it a little bit on set. We\u2019ve both done a bunch of horror films, but it\u2019s that tricky thing where, as an actor, you\u2019re always looking to expand. So when Carolina Caroline<\/em> came along, it was really exciting for both of us because it\u2019s something that neither of us had ever really gotten to do before.<\/p>\n

\nWith you and horror, do you think \u201cHeadphone Kid\u2019s Brother\u201d put you on a list because you were approved by Wes Craven? Did <\/strong>Red Eye<\/em><\/strong> open the flood gates?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t(Laughs<\/em>.) I don\u2019t know if Headphone Kid\u2019s Brother put me on any kind of list. When you\u2019re younger and you\u2019re cutting your teeth, horror movies are some of the only things you could really get a lead in where you weren\u2019t playing somebody\u2019s son or a smaller role. So I was really lucky to be able to jump from movie to movie, starting from Headphone Kid\u2019s Brother all the way up to where I am now.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWell, there goes your pen, dude.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t(Laughs<\/em>.) I still have not seen [Red Eye<\/em>]. I don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

\nYou should check it. It\u2019s pretty good.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s what I\u2019ve heard.<\/p>\n

\nSamara told me that the two of you bonded over the fact that Radio Silence killed you both in <\/strong>Scream<\/em><\/strong> movies. Didn\u2019t the two of you text those guys a picture promising payback?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tProbably. If she said it, then yes. My memory is out the window, but that sounds about right.<\/p>\n

\nYou previously worked with Adam Carter Rehmeier on<\/strong><\/strong>the 2020 cult classic <\/strong>Dinner in America<\/em><\/strong>, but you didn\u2019t reteam for <\/strong>Snack<\/em><\/strong>Shack<\/em><\/strong>. Were you busy during that one?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNo, I wasn\u2019t busy. There was a role in there that Adam had brought me up for, but things just don\u2019t always work out for any number of reasons. I forget what it was. I was maybe a little old to play the role, but Adam and I are always scheming and looking to see what else we can do together.<\/p>\n

\nAdam landed <\/strong>Caroline<\/em><\/strong> while prepping <\/strong>Snack<\/em><\/strong>Shack<\/em><\/strong>, so did he gauge your interest pretty early on in the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWell, Carolina Caroline<\/em> was pretty interesting. When the movie came across his desk, he brought my name up from the jump. He was like, \u201cThis would be a great movie for me and Kyle.\u201d But the way Hollywood works, it doesn\u2019t always go that way. So there were actually a few [casting] iterations before I came on board. Adam kept pushing for me, and once the role opened up again, he pushed for me again. People are going to do what they have to do, and producers are going to do what they have to do. They made their offers and did their thing, but with patience and luck, the role finally came my way.<\/p>\n

\nOliver Anderson is a nomadic con man from Orange County, and while Caroline calls him out for the con job he pulled at her filling station, she quickly becomes enamored with him and his lifestyle. Do you think he\u2019d always been a solo act until\u00a0 he met Caroline?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tMaybe he wasn\u2019t always a solo act, but the reason I don\u2019t think he\u2019s had other Carolines is because the way he feels about her is very genuine. They really do fall in love, and they really are very ride-or-die for each other. So even if there were other people along the way, there was never anybody like her for him.<\/p>\n

\nIf you had to pull off a real-life con, do you think your acting chops would serve you well? Or would the fear of arrest cause you to buckle under the pressure?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s a good question. I guess it depends on the situation. If I had no choice and didn\u2019t have to worry about the threat of arrest, I would like to hope that I could pull it off. I do wonder if I would crumble or if I would be able to swing it.<\/p>\n

\nIn a way, isn\u2019t acting just conning an audience into believing the story, world and character you\u2019re presenting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, a little bit. You\u2019re making things up, you\u2019re telling stories and you\u2019re trying to be as truthful as you can. So I have to imagine it would help.<\/p>\n

\nOliver ignores the following question in the movie, so now you have to answer it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh God.<\/p>\n

\nDo you think Oliver is a good person pretending to be bad? Or is he a bad person pretending to be good?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t(Laughs<\/em>.) I think Oliver believes in what he says and what he does. He stands by his approach to things. He looks at the world a certain way, and he believes the things that he believes. I don\u2019t think he sees himself as a bad guy. It\u2019s almost like that Robin Hood thing. He thinks he\u2019s taking from people that it doesn\u2019t really hurt. Granted, there are victims who are probably not bad people and get the short end of the stick. But he\u2019s only taking $20, $40, $60 from them. I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s a great thing, but the big cons are from people [or entities] that he genuinely thinks won\u2019t consider it a problem.<\/p>\n

\nFor a while, Oliver and Caroline had a pretty clean system going where they were doing small-scale cons and enjoying a nice lifestyle. But then she wanted to up the stakes to armed bank robbery. Do you liken their pursuit of bigger cons to drug addiction? Are they chasing greater and greater highs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI have to imagine there\u2019s a part of that there. It\u2019s exciting, and it fuels something in you. It does hit a reckless point when she\u2019s in a darker place because of her mom, and everything gets pushed further and further. Oliver is willing to do anything for her, so he steps it up to do these other things. But he knows what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s clearly done this before, and he understands the dangers behind it. So I have to imagine that there is definitely a bit of an intoxicating element to pulling off these robberies and cons.<\/p>\n

\nBefore they left Caroline\u2019s dad\u2019s house in Texas, he (John Gries) said to Oliver, \u201cRemember what I told you.\u201d Did you actually shoot that scene? Or was it always a quick way to tell the audience that her dad gave the two his blessing?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, we never really had a scene where he and Oliver had a longer conversation.<\/p>\n

\nI first watched the movie before its TIFF premiere last year, and I had to pause a few times to figure out the movie\u2019s recurring cash register con. Sam said she never truly figured it out. What about you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t even know if I really do understand it; it\u2019s just something that works. If you understand the rhythm of it and you understand what it\u2019s supposed to be, it just works. It\u2019s meant to be confusing. It\u2019s a con that you\u2019re supposed to pull in a crowded bar or store where the person working the register is a little distracted. That way, they get confused by what\u2019s happening. The math is confusing. Even now, I still have a hard time understanding it. The first day we shot it in the filling station where Oliver meets Caroline, we were running it, and I had to stop. At one point, there were six people standing around all trying to figure out how it works. We got to the point where we were like, \u201cOkay, we\u2019ve got to just shoot it.\u201d It does work. but it just breaks your brain a little bit.<\/p>\n

\nStrange Darling<\/em> director JT Mollner is following in Adam\u2019s footsteps because he just called you for his next movie, <\/strong>Skeletons<\/em><\/strong>, alongside Brie Larson and producer JJ Abrams. It\u2019s got to be flattering to have two talented filmmakers championing you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s a really good feeling. It\u2019s the best thing in the world to make movies with your friends \u2014 people that you love and trust. Adam and JT have just been so incredibly supportive of me. Adam and I have now made three movies together, and [Skeletons<\/em>] will be the second one that I do with JT after Strange<\/em> Darling<\/em>. JT has always had my back. So it\u2019s incredibly satisfying to know that I have these people who believe in me and fight for me and push for me to be in their films. They really put their money where their mouth is. They\u2019re like, \u201cI want to work with you again,\u201d and they make it happen. It\u2019s cool. I\u2019m very, very fortunate to have found two guys like that, and I hope I can make ten more movies with them.<\/p>\n

\nParker Finn could\u2019ve been the third one, but he just had to kill off your character in the first eight minutes of Smile 2<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI know! Parker and I still talk. I would love to work with him again. I have a feeling we will cross paths again, for sure.<\/p>\n

\nI remember giving him a little bit of a hard time about it because you were popping off at the time with <\/strong>Strange<\/em><\/strong>Darling<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t(Laughs<\/em>.) Parker was cool about it. There was always the possibility of Smile 2<\/em> following my character Joel, but he called me and said, \u201cLook, dude, the movie is not going to be about Joel, but we\u2019re going to take you out with a real bang.\u201d Then he explained the scene to me, and I was just like, \u201cYeah, let\u2019s go shoot that. That\u2019ll be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWhen <\/strong>Strange Darling<\/em><\/strong> came your way, were you able to read the script and have the experience that viewers had? Were the surprises still intact?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, the script was written nonlinearly like the movie, so reading it was exciting because I had no clue where it was going to go. There was all this stuff in the beginning that we never got to shoot. For a while, I thought the movie was going to have no dialogue. Nobody talked for 25 or 30 pages because there was a whole action sequence at the front of the movie we didn\u2019t get to shoot.<\/p>\n

\nThe river sequence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, the river sequence. When you read a script or a story that\u2019s so stylized like that, you just don\u2019t know what the final product is going to be. So even though I knew what was going to happen, I genuinely had no idea what the movie was going to look like or feel like \u2014\u00a0or how the chapters would work and flow. And once I got to see the movie, it was still really surprising to me even though I knew what was going to happen.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m glad <\/strong>Strange Darling <\/em><\/strong>worked out for JT because that sounded like a really rough production.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt was insane. He fought tooth and nail to make sure he was able to tell the story he wanted to tell in the way he wanted to tell it. That dude went to absolute war for that movie, and I\u2019m glad he won in the end. [Writer\u2019s Note: Two Miramax execs shut down the production on day two due to dissatisfaction with dailies, while also arguing to recast Willa Fitzgerald. Producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider persuaded the powers that be to resume filming as is, but the nearly week-long pause forced Mollner to scrap the major river set piece. Then, in post, Miramax quietly hired another editor to recut the film linearly. Moller loathed that version so much he threatened to Alan Smithee the piece if it was released. Mollner\u2019s director\u2019s cut ultimately tested through the roof, prompting then-Miramax CEO Bill Block to offer him final cut as an apology.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

\n(<\/strong>Spoiler Warning for <\/em><\/strong>Strange<\/strong><\/strong>Darling.) How did you initially react to the revelation that your character was <\/strong>not<\/em><\/strong> the serial killer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt was just a cool moment. I read it, and I reacted the same way that people reacted to it in the theater: \u201cWait, what? \u201d I couldn\u2019t believe what I was reading.<\/p>\n

\n(<\/strong>Spoiler Warning for <\/em><\/strong>Strange<\/strong><\/strong>Darling.) I asked JT if he ever directed you to pretend like you\u2019re the serial killer in certain scenes such as the opening car chase, but he said he didn\u2019t play any of those games. Did you ever play that game with yourself?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNo, I just played the truth of the movie. The movie was really, really well written and very smart in that way. If you play the truth of the moment, then the audience goes along with it. I never had to twist the mustache and be like, \u201cOoh, I\u2019m the bad guy here.\u201d Just playing the scenes the way they were supposed to be played was enough to guide the audience in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\n(<\/strong>Spoiler Warning for <\/em><\/strong>Strange<\/strong><\/strong>Darling.) R.C., as he calls himself, is married, but he\u2019s probably made plenty of other trips to that motel. Do you think he ultimately had it coming? Do you think his fate was comeuppance?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHonestly, I don\u2019t know if he had made other trips at that point. He was in a loveless marriage. He was nervous. He was a guy who was unhappy with his life, and he didn\u2019t know how to get out of it. He then made some poor choices and wound up in the absolute wrong place at the wrong time. So I don\u2019t know if it was his comeuppance. Gray characters like that are interesting. What he\u2019s doing is morally wrong. But then it flips over, and he tries to do something right by stopping her. So I like that movie because a lot of it really does live in the gray.<\/p>\n

\nYou and Parker didn\u2019t have a full-fledged reunion on <\/strong>Smile 2<\/em><\/strong>, but you did have one with your <\/strong>Smile<\/em><\/strong> co-star Sosie Bacon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, we have a movie called Cotton<\/em> Fever<\/em> that\u2019s going to Tribeca. I\u2019m actually about to leave here and jump right to New York [for the June 5 premiere].<\/p>\n

\nDid the two of you engineer it yourselves?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSosie and I had been talking. We wanted to find something else to work on. We got along really, really well, and she\u2019s an incredible actress. I have some producer friends that I\u2019ve made a couple things with, and they reached out to me about this very, very small movie. It\u2019s less than a shoestring budget, but it was just really cool. It\u2019s very slice of life, almost docu-style. It\u2019s super different from what Sosie and I got to do on Smile<\/em>. So there was a really great role in it, and I reached out to her to say, \u201cLook, it\u2019s no money, it\u2019s no nothing. It\u2019s really just for the love of the game.\u201d So she read it, she really liked the role and she ended up coming on board.<\/p>\n

\nDecades from now, when you think back on the <\/strong>Caroline<\/em><\/strong> experience, what day will you likely recall first?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh man. I don\u2019t even know if there\u2019s going to be one day. Certain movies just really stick out. Some are jobs, some are just work, but some of them just hit differently. Filming Caroline<\/em> was a fever dream. It was summertime fun, and I got to work with some of my really good friends. It\u2019s more that I\u2019ll just be able to look back on it as a whole \u2014\u00a0as one of those really special ones that stand out over the course of a career.<\/p>\n

\nAdam told me that you guys talk about other projects all the time. Has anything emerged as a potential frontrunner?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWe have another one, and it\u2019s already done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nWait, you shot another film already?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, we shot it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nHow did I not know about this?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m allowed to say anything. (Laughs<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\nYou mentioned earlier that you\u2019ve made three films together, but I just thought you misspoke.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, we do have another one. My heart breaks a little bit because Adam and I have become really close. We\u2019re good friends, and he has always believed in me. He\u2019s let me do roles and step into shoes that other people normally wouldn\u2019t let me do. With Dinner in America<\/em> and then Carolina<\/em> Caroline<\/em>, those are the kind of roles where producers or other people go, \u201cNo, no, no, not him.\u201d They think of me a certain way or whatever. But Adam has always stood up and said, \u201cNo, he can do anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSo it is a little heartbreaking because I know he\u2019s going to blow up and I know I\u2019m not always going to be right. I know I\u2019m not always going to be there, and I know our paths may not always be on the same plane. I may not be able to be hired on the movies that he\u2019s about to direct, and I have to share him with the world now. Again, it\u2019s a little bittersweet because I just know he\u2019s going to fucking take off. He\u2019s just so good. He\u2019s one of the best, most unique voices going right now. But we\u2019ll always talk, and we\u2019ll always fight to find stuff together. It just may not be as back to back as it\u2019s been.<\/p>\n
