Michael Wagman always tries to find the personal in the characters he
portrays.
But for his latest role as the conniving Dimitris Kokkinakis in
Strangeloop Theatre’s Mitera, the
Wicker Park actor has struggled to make that connection.
“One of my biggest challenges
has been playing someone who thinks so little of the people around him that he
literally gives them and their views no credence,” Wagman said. “I’ve always
tried to keep an open mind, so playing someone who is so resolutely closed-minded
has forced me to find those areas of myself – those few relationships where I
became closed-minded – and exploit them to understand this character.”
