Paul Giamatti Interview: The Holdovers & Billions Series Finale
Throughout his career, Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti has proven his range in countless roles across many genres. One such example would be his 2004 collaboration with writer-director Alexander Payne for Sideways, which earned the filmmaker an Oscar for its earnest screenplay. Years later, they’ve reunited for another thoughtful feature with Payne’s period piece, The Holdovers.
In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Giamatti shares what it was about this script that appealed most to him when reading it. Unsurprisingly, it was the heartfelt nature of the relationships, and in particular, it was the character of Professor Paul Hunham, a role penned by Payne specifically with Giamatti in mind “from the get-go,” the director told Collider at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. In addition to Giamatti, The Holdovers cast includes standout performances by Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa in his onscreen debut, set during the chilly New England winter break in the ‘70s.
Giamatti also talks with us about preparing to step on set for emotional scenes. While well-known for his comedy, he’s captivated audiences no matter the number of scenes he appears in, from 12 Years a Slave and Saving Private Ryan to Cinderella Man, which earned him an Oscar nomination. They also discuss which role proved to be the most nerve-wracking, what he thought about the Billions finale, and what’s next for him.
