The 46 year-old actor makes No. 7 in the Details magazine annual Power Issue of “The Most Influential Men Under 47.”
Here’s what the “Valkyrie” star had to say about the highly anticipated suspense thriller:
On why he chose the film: “When you make people reconsider something that they’re so certain of . . . I found it very compelling. It’s the reason I’m doing it. When I was a kid, we’d play war, you know, and it was always ‘Kill the Nazis.’ I wanted to kill Hitler. [. . .] It’s about doing the right thing, but also about finding out what the right thing is. You know what I mean? I do feel that this movie was the right thing to do . . . I love movies. Yeah, man, I love movies!”
On people criticizing the movie: “There’s always someone telling you not to make a movie. When I did Born on the Fourth of July, they said, ‘This is going to ruin your career. What are you doing?’ Suicide? I’ve committed it. There were people who didn’t want me to make Top Gun.”
On whether he relates to his character: “Certain decisions at points in my life . . . I absolutely related. Stauffenberg went from saying, ‘Someone should shoot that bastard’ to realizing, I’m the only one who can do it. You can’t really know until you’re under that kind of pressure. I’m not saying this in some chest-pounding way, but I do feel I’d have that kind of courage.”
