Michael Chiklis, Mary Stuart Masterson & Rob Corddry on The Senior and Redefining Second Chances
Manage episode 506958435 series 3457789
The cast of The Senior -- Michael Chiklis, Rob Corddry, and Mary Stuart Masterson -- along with the actual former football player the movie is based upon, Mike Flint, join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film's wild-but-true story. The Senior follows Flint as he becomes the older player to ever suit up for a college football team -- at the age of 59.
Chiklis, who was also 59 when filming, talks about the physical toll of hitting the field, how he approached portraying a living person, and why this became one of the most meaningful projects of his career. Corddry and Masterson, who play Flint’s coach and wife, respectively, discuss finding unexpected emotional depth in their characters, navigating the real people behind the roles (including Eileen Flint watching on set), and how the film explores masculinity, redemption, faith, and the long game of unfinished business. It’s a sports movie, sure — but one that trades cliché locker room speeches for something a lot more human.
