HOLLYWOOD & FINE: ‘California Solo’ director: Choosing the soloist is key
by Marshall Fine
November 29, 2012
Yes, Marshall Lewy admits, it was a risk to write the lead role of his second movie with actor Robert Carlyle in mind. If Carlyle wouldn’t do it, he would be pretty much screwed.
“Oh, I had a Plan B,” Lewy says, of his film, “California Solo,” which opens Friday (11/30/12) in limited release. “I had other people I envisioned going to. But it was written for him. I’ve always been a fan.”
Luckily for Lewy, he was able to get it to Carlyle, who read it and responded positively: “It’s almost as if it were written for me,” he marveled to Lewy, who replied, “It was.”
In “California Solo,” Carlyle plays Lachlan MacAldonich, a Scottish transplant to southern California agricultural country, who once came to America as part of a rising Brit-Pop band. He now spends his days managing his boss’ farm, doing everything from fitting irrigation pipe to manning the stand at the local farmers’ market...
California Solo cast includes Robert Carlyle, Danny Masterson, Kathleen Wilhoite, William Russ, A Martinez, Alexia Rasmussen, Michael Des Barres and Patrick Gallagher.
Robert Carlyle also co-stars in ABC's Once Upon A Time, airing Sunday at 8/7C.
