Peter Sarsgaard on Munich Massacre Drama ‘September 5,’ Loving Being Directed By Wife Maggie Gyllenhaal and People Mistaking Him for a Skarsgard (Even on Set)
Peter Sarsgaard talks Venice's Munich massacre drama ‘September 5,’ loving being directed by wife Maggie Gyllenhaal, being mistaken for a Skarsgard
A year on from having two films premiere in Venice and winning the Volpi Cup for best actor (for Michel Franco’s “Memory,” playing a man with early onset dementia), Peter Sarsgaard has another thought-provoking feature at the festival. It would be a broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people, but also one that presented the news team with — at the time — unique moral and ethical questions about the role of the media in such situations. Speaking to Variety, the actor discusses the parables between the events in 1972 and the conflict in Gaza today, how much he loves his wife refusing to allow him to be “comfortable” on set, why you’ll never see him play the same character again either on TV or film, and why he’s given up correcting people when they think he’s part of the Skarsgard family.
