Dane was giving an interview for his latest move 'Kill Your Darlings' when he was asked about his upcoming role as James Dean in the movie 'Life'.



You’re set to star in a biopic about James Dean. Those are some big shoes to fill. How will you go about playing the iconic actor?

This script is about two weeks of James Dean’s life, right before he became really famous. It’s a film about how a normal person can be turned into an icon. I’m really interested and looking forward to figuring out who James Dean as a person was, not who the person that most of us have a poster of on our wall is. I think that they are very different people, and I want to get to the humanity of who he was. He’s my favorite actor, and I’ve always idolized him like a lot of people have. His performances have really overwhelmed me in every way. He was ahead of his time, being one of the only people doing this cutting age stuff. That’s what’s always attracted me to him but I never gave much thought about who he was as a person.
