How Did The Lead Actor In ‘Orson Welles’, With No Film Credits, Get Cast?
In The Richard Linklater movie Me And Orson Welles…
Orson Welles is played by an unknown actor. His name is Christian McKay, and before Me And Orson Welles, he didn’t have one film listed on his acting resume.
Yet, there is Oscar buzz about his performance. Movie critics suggest that he may get an acting nomination.
How did a completely unknown actor, with not one film credit, get cast by a director like Richard Linklater? Get cast as a lead role in a movie, to act alongside Zac Efron and Claire Danes?
How did this actor, who is actually British, get to play an American filmmaking icon, one of the most prominent names in our media history? Orson Welles is not only known for Citizen Kane, and War Of The Worlds. He had a notorious personality, as well.
