A young Austin actor takes one giant leap in Richard Linklater's tale of the space race.
Milo Coy is living every homegrown artsy Austin kid's dream – for his first movie role, he was cast as the lead in a Richard Linklater movie. The director behind classics such asis finally back with a beautiful and incredibly personal coming-of-age comedy, where Coy stars as a kid growing up in Houston in 1969, when NASA and the space race were the talk of the town.is about Stan , who shares his surreal childhood experience growing up in the Houston suburb of El Lago.
Although Coy can't connect as much to the era the film is set in, he still found his character to be relatable."It's a lot like how I've grown up, as I'm definitely a nerd, but not when it comes to schoolwork – when it comes to comics and stuff. Like how [Stan] is with NASA." Coy's love of nerd culture is quite sweet, but it's also pretty awesome to see that's he's also gotten into some of the same things his character Stan is into.
