Ian McShane on Playing ‘An Angel of Death’ in Gonzalo López-Gallego’s ‘American Star,’ Waiting for a ‘John Wick 5’ Call
'John Wick' and 'Deadwood' actor Ian McShane discusses his role as a hitman in Gonzalo López-Gallego's 'American Star.'
Also a producer of director Gonzalo López-Gallego’s new film, the English actor plays Wilson, a seasoned assassin who visits the Canary Islands’ Fuerteventura for a job, but instead unexpectedly becomes involved in the life of a French expatriate (Nora Arnezeder) and the lonely child of a vacationing couple (Oscar Coleman). From the first scene, McShane dances across the screen with the same effortlessness of a performer a quarter of his age as his character reckons with an escalating series of disruptions to a sequence of events whose outcome is inevitable: someone dying of a bullet from his gun. That choice marks a dramatic contrast from the role that’s kept him busy now for ten years, Winston Scott, the mysterious owner of the criminal underground weight station, the Continental, in the “John Wick” franchise.
