Some roles are just one and done! However, Stanley Tucci 'would happily play Nigel in 'The Devil Wears Prada' again. 😮
"I would not play George Harvey again in, which was horrible," Tucci shared with ET's Ash Crossan."It's a wonderful movie, but it was a tough experience. Simply because of the role."the same name by Alice Sebold, Tucci plays sadistic serial killer known for raping and murdering at least seven girls. He eventually gets killed by falling off a steep hill after trying to lure another girl into his car.
Tucci admittedly tried to get out of the role before understanding director Peter Jackson's motivation for casting him in the sinister part. "I asked Peter Jackson why he cast me in that role. I tried to get out of playing the role, which is crazy because I needed a job," he recalled."But I was like, 'Why do you want me?' And he said, 'Because you're funny.' And I thought, 'OK.' But I understand what he was saying."
Tucci continued,"I think what he meant was that I wouldn't be too -- not that I wouldn’t be serious about it, but that I wouldn't be overly dramatic about it. That I would throw it away a bit. Which is what you have to do when you're playing somebody who's that awful, right?" "You can't play into it. Then, you know, it's over," he added."Like, the movie's over. You just have to play against it."
