‘It’s Nice to Be in a Hit Every Once in a While’
Alessandro Nivola stayed booked and busy this winter, between co-starring roles in The Brutalist, Kraven the Hunter, and The Room Next Door.
His December cinema triptych, coupled with his co-starring role in the spring’s Apple TV+ miniseries The Big Cigar, are a reflection of all that effort — a quartet of projects that capture his vivid latitude, compact physicality, and “hey, that guy” appeal. His devastating turn as the self-loathing Attila, cousin to genius architect László Tóth ( Adrien Brody), in Oscar favorite The Brutalist and his crowd-pleasing lunacy as the villain Rhino in Kraven the Hunter feel like the twin poles of that mercurial range, and in person, he’s pleasantly self-effacing and gabby.
