John Magaro On How He Prepared To Tell The Olympics Story That Horrified The World In ‘September 5’
John Magaro on telling the story of how ABC's broadcast team covered terrorists' massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 'September 5.'
Magaro must convey the enormous pressure and responsibility placed on Mason as he is suddenly thrust into the hot seat to produce live coverage. And then you have Marvin Bader, Ben Chaplin’s character, who is this mentor and guiding force and drawing him back to what you’re really supposed to do, just having no time to think and going on that ride. Daniel Betts, a great English actor who I had worked with on War Machine, plays the director in the first scene who goes off to the Alps on vacation, and we gave him the name Dan Wilson.
