Our Acting Lion Bryan Kaplan is on location, starring in the film THE DIVIDE with Perry King.
Shortly before location shooting wrapped, Matias Bombal’s Hollywood: ON LOCATION visited the set of THE DIVIDE to interview Perry and Bryan. Naturally most of the interview features Perry King, who has been nurturing this project for years. About 11 minutes into the interview Perry talks about casting Bryan and then he comes on to close out the last 5 minutes of the segment.
This has been a banner year for Bryan. His earlier feature FREY, in which he co-starred with another of our Acting Lions, Marisa Costa, was released in LA to rave reviews and has become a favorite of our veterans returning from Iraq & Afghanistan. Below the interview for THE DIVIDE I have included his interview for Brave New Hollywood on playing a veteran with PTSD.
