INSIGHT: THE CASSEL TOUCH
CHARACTER ACTING FROM CASSAVETES TO NOW
SEYMOUR CASSEL IN CONVERSATION WITH ROB NILSSON
Wednesday, October 14, 8:00 pm $15 - Ticket Code: CASS14T
142 Throckmorton Theatre
Enjoy an intimate conversation between acclaimed character actor Seymour Cassel and iconic independent filmmaker Rob Nilsson. Seymour Cassel’s early career was tied to American master of independent cinema John Cassavetes, with whom Cassel made his film debut in Shadows. Cassel starred in more Cassavetes classics, including Minnie and Moskowitz and Faces, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Cassel has remained a fixture of independent and studio films, appearing in Steve Buscemi’s Trees Lounge, Alexandre Rockwell’s In the Soup, Adrian Lyne’s Indecent Proposal, Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy and a trio of Wes Anderson favorites: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. His latest, Reach For Me, screens at this year’s MVFF. Imbued, the new film from MVFF favorite Nilsson, also screens this year.
