- Corin Nemec is the star of many movies, including "Bundy". Anyone looking for more info on Corin or his films, can visit him at his IMDB page.
Q: Mr. Nemec, can you explain how you first got into the movie business?
A: I got into the film and tv business at the age of 11, professional into acting at the age of 12. My mom is an artist/music business. She worked with a company called “Standing Room Only.” Then later with the Nederlander Producing Company. She transferred to the Pantages theatre which brought me to Los Angeles My dad is a project designer and later worked on “The Goonies” as an Art Director. That’s when I realized about acting and I could pretend to do things but also realize I could make money. I began training with the Centre Stage LA theatre company and later signed on with an agent after performing in one of their talent showcases.
Q: Would you please explain your acting role in "Bundy."
A: I play Ted Bundy, the title character. I did lots of research, mainly written via books and news articles. I also watched visual interviews/news clips. I think what was most important was working with Michael Feifer, the director. Once we looked into it and realized that Ted Bundy may have actually been his sister’s child, making him an illegitimate child, incest with Dad, you can kinda see his motivation. It’s purely speculation on our part but we think Ted knew this and that’s what helped fill his rage.
Q: Knowing how movie reviews may skew the perception of one's product, give us in your own words what you want people to know about the film.
A: The movie is pretty good look into his life. From childhood through college and the years leading up to his execution. It runs the gamut of his life. It’s a view through the keyhole of the potential causes in his life.
Q: If there were one part of the filming that was more difficult than you expected, what would that be? Getting a costume to work? Appearing in a certain scene? Certain lines?
A: Well I’ve played similar roles before such as Richard Speck in “Chicago Massacre” and also in “The Stand.” I think the difference was my actual distaste fir the guy. I was aghast at what he did. Actually disgusted . I got a little tired of doing the character after a while.
Q: Was there any one day, one moment where you just knew the film would work they way you thought it could?
A: When I got together with Feifer, the writer/director of it. It’s got a $100,000 budget, less than 15 day production schedule, but I know him and we’d get it done. I knew working with him, it would work.
Q: Looking back, I know that you’ve also appeared in other films. Can you tell me a little about them and your experience with it? First, “Mansquito”?
A: I loved working with Tibor Takács. I had a great time doing it. It was fun. It is a throwback to the 50’s Atomic Era. The plot line is really far out but it’s in the nature of horror/scifi.
2) How about "Chicago Massacre"?
A: It’s Richard Speck, a mass murderer in 1960’s Chicago. He’s a very angry, mentally unstable man. He was an alcoholic, drug addict, on reds. I think it’s easier to justify his behavior given the druges and what was going on his life, compared to Bundy. I had a great time.
3) How about "Sea Beast"?
A: Not so great CGI but similar to ilk to “Mansquito.”
Q: What's next for you? What else does 2009 hold for you?
A: “House of Bones. Also I know the first season of “Park Lewis” is out on DVD. I’ve also got a production company with David Faustino, from “Married with Children” and we’re doing a tv series called “Star-Ving.” It’s a far out comedy. It’s been called by the L.A. Times as “pushing the envelope so far…” That’ll be on DVD in August.
Q: What do you look for when picking projects?
A: For me it’s more like what does a project have in it? Is there something in the character I have passion for. I can bring something new too? A Story within a story.
Q: Anything you wish to add for my readers and visitors? Something special about you that they probably do not know?
A: I don’t own a tv! I have a computer and I can watch my Colbert and Jon Stewart online or watch movies on Hulu.Com
Q: Finally...this is an "Obscure Horror Movie" website. Can you name the last horror movie you watched either at the theatres or on dvd, etc? How about name a favorite horror film that you have seen that most people probably haven't seen?
A:
Not to be egoistical but “Ted Bundy.” I like to watch and see how the project turns out. And it disturbed me!
Q: Thank you very much for doing this.
