The more we find out about Whiteout‘s Russell Haden, the more intrigued we become. Our patience will soon be rewarded as the movie opens on Friday, September 11th!
Studio Cut published a recent cast interview and Alex O’Loughlin reveals a little more about his Aussie movie character:
Meanwhile, O’Loughlin plays pilot Russell Haden who spends his off-hours drinking and pulling harmless pranks like a frat boy—an understandable tension release after pushing himself and his plane to the limit. The actor admits, “He’s a pretty audacious personality. He has a lot of energy and confidence, and is a bit of a smartass. He does okay with the ladies, although not with Carrie, and rather than be discouraged by that unfortunate fact, he just tries harder and more shamelessly every chance he gets.”
“Alex was a real find, such a natural, charismatic actor,” says Sena. “A good portion of his dialogue was ad-libbed.” To which O’Loughlin responds, “The role called for a cheeky Aussie pilot. I thought, ‘I don’t know how to fly but I’m a cheeky Aussie,’ so I figured I could handle it.”
We know Alex handles cheekiness with aplomb, and undoubtedly flying would not be a challenge for long should he ever decide to learn how.
Many thanks to Bianca at LLOL for the heads-up on this great article!
