Star Wars Actor on American Made’s Rogue CIA Agent
Domhnall Gleeson plays a career-minded, rogue CIA agent "Schafer" in the new true crime flick American Made, opening Friday, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow). During a recent phone chat with IGN, the actor hailed both Cruise and Liman as thrill-seekers in the spirit of American Made's subject, Barry Seal, a high-flying pilot who smuggled drugs and guns in the 1980s for the Medellín Cartel and CIA, respectively.
Cruise, a pilot, and Liman ventured out into the jungle on location in South America, flying there on their own and camping out in the wild. "I went up in the plane with the pair of them a couple times. And they also flew that plane over my head when we were, during that scene where the people are flying like ten feet over my head. That was me standing in there. So I got to see some of the kind of madness up close, and it was really exhilarating," Gleeson said.
