Od malog rudarskog grada u Australiji na američkoj pozornici, Australski rođen Cody Fern je poduzela mnoge putove tijekom potrage za jačanje i daljnje njegove glumačke sposobnosti. Sada, Paprat je 2014 primatelj Australijaca u šestoj godišnjoj stipendiji Heath Ledger filma Film, nagrada za cilj financijski i stručno pratećih glumaca australskog podrijetla. U četvrtak navečer, Fern prihvatila nagradu, koji također uključuje $10,000 novčani fond, stipendiju dvije godine u Los Angelesu Stella Adler akademije za glumu i kazalište i mentorstvo od oca pokojnog glumca Heatha Ledgera, na večeru za prikupljanje sredstava održanoj u SLS Hotel. Napredak, Fern je rekao da se raduje budućim ulogama on želi nastaviti, izvan strasti i glumci koji su mu nadahnute.
Što stipendija znači za vas?
To je duboko važna kao glumac i kao pojedinac dolazi iz Australije. To je jedna stvar biti podržan u svojoj karijeri i još jedna stvar za svoje vršnjake da te zagrliti i reći mi vjerujemo u tebe. To se osjeća kao osjećaj pripadnosti, a posebno kao glumac, trebate one trenutke u svom životu da vam kaže da ide i jurnjava ovaj ludi san ste imali u svom životu.
Prije djelujući ste radili u trgovini. Koji je bio trenutak koji je pokazao ponašaš bilo gdje se istina strast lagao?
Poznajem jer sam bio 6 i, ne-kliše se način, Uvijek sam znao da sam htjela da djeluje. So my journey has been about finding the “why” and figuring out the reason behind it. I remember watching Cate Blanchett in “Elizabeth” and feeling like for the first time – even though that time period wasn’t happening now – that I believed that role. And that’s where the genius of where it grew from.
What are you looking forward to most in LA?
It’s all a little bit crazy at the moment so I’m looking forward to a lot of things. But I’m definitely looking into feature film work and getting into that kind of realm.
I saw you’re also working on a novel. What will it be about?
Writing is one of those very personal things so I might keep that one a little bit closer until that’s published. But it’s about a teenage boy and his journey in negotiating the world of becoming a man in a very isolated town. It’s a little bit of a personal piece and it will continue to develop.
What would be your dream role?
I would want to do a role like the one Ezra Miller had in “We Need To Talk About Kevin.” That is a real juicy role. I love everything about Benedict Cumberbatch because he’s so intelligent and talented. But I also have to say my dream role would be opposite of Meryl Streep or Daniel Day-Lewis.
What was your favorite Heath Ledger role?
I remember seeing Heath Ledger in the Australian film “Candy” and that was a game changer for me. It’s just incredible. If you look at his transition from “Candy” to “Brokeback Mountain” to the Joker [in “The Dark Knight”] you can see that he was a talented individual and range he had was incredible. No, „Candy” je prvobitni jedan za mene, mi pokazuje da je „wow, ovaj tip je umjetnik.”
