Will Rothhaar on Playing Oswald | Killing Kennedy

killing Kennedy is a story about this
this national tragedy but it also just
it delves into the personal lives of JFK
and Oswald
I think killing Kennedy is definitely
about seeking the humanity of these two
these two men and that’s something
especially with Oswald’s character is
something that you don’t get to see a
lot of it’s about both men’s struggles
in the years and months leading up to
his worlds colliding lot of people
working office not a very bright guy but
he’s fair he’s a very bright kid I mean
he’s used you know spent all this time
alone and created his own world and
that’s that’s where he that’s the world
that he lived in miss Oswald are you a
communist
no Roz walk we’ve always seen Lee’s a
bit this two dimensional villages what
he what he did was monstrous
he didn’t grow up with a lot of love in
his life but he was a human being you
know I mean and I want to find those
things about him that make the audience
like him to an extent I’m with marina I
think we were really after trying to
find those moments where there was some
tenderness between them as well being
that having some means I like it better
now this is a really cool role for me my
dad raised me on a lot of the education
of this whole event and I’ve been to do
Plus as a kid and seen the depository
and so when I got the audition for this
I was like the fact that that has come
full circle and I’m playing him now it’s
a dream
