From 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' to the streets of Naples, Scarduzio shares the inspiration he gleaned from these Hollywood icons.
The Big Picture Leading up to the release of Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 3, the third and final in the Denzel Washington-led franchise, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with the movie’s antagonist, Andrea Scarduzio, to find out more about the man behind the mafia.
SCARDUZIO: I’ve got a film that I'm really fond of, that I really love. It's an Indian film called Roam Rome Mein, which is a play with words; it's like roaming around, getting lost in Rome, but it also means, in India, it means every inch of your being. It's about women's rights, seen through the perspective of a man. It's a beautiful film that was doing really well at the festivals before COVID.
SCARDUZIO: They flew me to Abu Dhabi. Everything happened so quickly. I auditioned three times. I didn't even know what I was auditioning for. It was a secret, so I didn't know. And then they flew me to Abu Dhabi. I was there for about 20 days, so I didn't really know when I was going to shoot, and they didn't really have a schedule. They improvise a lot. It's amazing how they work.
SCARDUZIO: They're unbelievable. They're unbelievable. For me, meeting them, seeing people at that level, we're talking about the elite, you know, we're talking about the elite creative, incredibly talented and committed and kind human beings. And to get to know them a little bit during those days and to see, also, like, how they are as dudes, it was a hell of an experience. Even talking to Tom, I told him that 17 years ago, I saw him in Hollywood. I was waiting tables.
Going back to manifestation, the love and respect that I have for the men before the artist, it's humongous. And then the artist we all know is the GOAT, and him and Antoine, those two, I will love them forever. I mean, I will forever be in their debt. It's been a hell of a ride. These guys. Antoine, you know, the love, admiration, respect that I have for him is endless. He's a guy that, if you're lucky enough, one day he'll tell you a story out of his life and blow you away.
As a fan of Denzel and knowing Denzel, what is it like doing a scene with him where it's you and him, and the way you like to work versus the way he likes to work, and finding it all on set? Talk a little bit about that collaboration, maybe what surprised you? SCARDUZIO: Well, by far, definitely, no doubt, the final part of the death, when I'm crawling in the streets. It was very tough to shoot. It was full winter. We were shooting in December, and it was about five degrees out.SCARDUZIO: Well, it was cold as fuck. It was raining, and we were shooting a lot of hours, and, you know, crawling on those cobblestones is not fun. Actually, I got scars on this leg here and here on my foot, I got scars because I was really bleeding, and deep cuts.
