‘The Brutalist’ Star Adrien Brody is Always Happy to Work Himself to Exhaustion: “That Is Very Fulfilling”

The Oscar winner reveals how it felt to lose his leading role in 'The Brutalist' only for it to come back around again: "We all poured in so much heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears."

Actors lose parts on the daily in Hollywood, but missing out on the chance to play László Tóth, a Jewish Hungarian architect who is attempting to rebuild his life in the United States after the Holocaust over the course of decades, was not an easy pill to swallow. Brody also previously won an Oscar for best actor for his turn as a Polish Holocaust survivor in 2002’s The Pianist, an epic that shares themes with The Brutalist.
