There’s no doubt that he wants to be a father, and he absolutely loves his family, he loves his wife, he loves his brother, and he even loves his in-laws. He also seems a little bit afraid to say that he’s okay with his life being different than maybe what he expected it would be.ĪRMSTRONG: Yeah. He’s just trying to have it make a little bit more sense while he figures out what he actually wants to do with it. I think that the character actually really loves where he’s at, in his life. He’s having a mid-life moment, and it’s a small moment, really. The main thing about the character is that he loves music, and he shares it with his daughter. I just make the best music that I possibly can.
I’m the fun guy, just trying to make it up as I go along, and that’s what the character is, too.ĪRMSTRONG: That’s the gamble that you make when you decide to become a rock musician. I also really related to the character, especially when it came to the parenting part. They’re playing to tape, but Fred Armisen and I were actually in a rock ‘n’ roll bad together. I was like, “Let’s just go in there and do it live.” I think that’s the big difference between this one and a lot of the other rock ‘n’ roll movies. What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock ‘n’ roll movies, that feature a band is that they’re lip-synching. Did you have any hesitation about doing a role like this and blurring those lines, or was that part of the appeal?ĪRMSTRONG: That was part of the appeal because I was pretty adamant about wanting to play live. When they cross over into acting, a lot of musicians or singers don’t want to take a movie where they have to sing in it, and it’s the same for a lot of dancers. But then, Lee Kirk reached out and asked if I was interested, and I read the script and said, “Absolutely!” As agent asked if I wanted to be represented, and I said, “Yeah, sure, I’ll give it a shot!” It was never something I had really put that much thought into. I loved acting, and so I just kept my options open.
