Stanley Tucci Talks About The Part He Would Never Play Again

Stanley Tucci has been an actor for many years and has played many parts in many types of movies. The actor who was considered for an Oscar has played a lot of different roles, from the ambitious Nigel Kipling in “The Devil Wears Prada” to the strange Caesar Flickerman in “The Hunger Games” trilogy. To be honest, Tucci has promised himself that he will never play that role again.
In April 2023, the Golden Globe winner told Entertainment Tonight that the part in question is George Harvey in the supernatural movie The Lovely Bones. “The movie is great, but it was hard to watch.” Just because of the part.”

The book by Alice Sebol that inspired the 2009 movie of the same name, and Tucci plays a serial killer who has killed several young women. In the end, the character dies when he falls off a cliff while trying to catch another girl in his car.

Before making Peter Jackson’s version for the big screen, Tucci also “tried to get out of” playing George Harvey and asked why he was chosen for the part in the first place. He said, “I asked Peter Jackson why he cast me in that role… which is crazy because I needed a job.” “But I asked, ‘Why do you want me?'” He told her, “Because you’re funny.” I said, “Okay, I get what he’s saying.”

Tucci, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor award for his role in The Lovely Bones, said that Jackson thought he “wouldn’t be too dramatic” as the character. “I’d throw it away a little.” When you play someone that bad, that’s what you have to do, right?” “You can’t play into it,” he said. After that, it’s over. It’s like the movie’s over. It’s just that you have to play against it.”

On the other hand, Tucci told ET that he would “happily” play Nigel from “The Devil Wears Prada” and Paul Child from “Julie and Julia” again. He also said, “Those are really great roles to play.”
