Michael Shannon is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable character actors in Hollywood.
Best known for his roles in Boardwalk Empire, Batman v Superman, and Nocturnal Animals, Shannon talks about playing “Richard Strickland” in Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar contender The Shape of Water.
The film’s synopsis:
Elisa is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab’s classified secret — a mysterious, scaled creature from South America that lives in a water tank. As Elisa develops a unique bond with her new friend, she soon learns that its fate and very survival lies in the hands of a hostile government agent and a marine biologist.
The Shape of Water in theaters December 15th! For more from Shannon, check out the full interview below!
