Despite being nominated for an Oscar for this movie, Stanley Tucci has called his acclaimed role 'horrible' and one he'd never play again.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite getting an Oscar nomination for the part, Stanley Tucci regretted one of the most noteworthy roles in his entire acting career. Tucci is known for his roles in movies such as The Devil Wears Prada, Beauty and the Beast, and the Hunger Games franchise. But surprisingly, it was the role in which he received his first Oscar nomination that he says he'd never do again.
Having been in the film industry for over 40 years now, the actor has enjoyed a long and illustrious career in Hollywood. Getting his start in the 1980s, Stanley Tucci has appeared in a wide variety of movies, using his talents to dabble in a number of genres. Typically, Tucci took on supporting roles, many of which were parts that received critical acclaim. One in particular even landed him an Oscar nomination.
For Tucci, it was a role that saw him move away from his recognizable, light-hearted roles to step into the shoes of a character with dark and cold-blooded tendencies. When he questioned director Peter Jackson about his casting, Tucci learned that it was because of his skills in humor, and he knew how to not be overly dramatic in the role.
Why Stanley Tucci Regretted His Oscar-Nominated Role When The Lovely Bones was released in 2009, it divided critics on its effects and its adaptation of the 2002 novel by Alice Sebold but received praise for its cast and acting. Stanley Tucci, in particular, received high praise for his performance as serial killer George Harvey and among other accolades, received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Despite receiving an Oscar nomination, Tucci has stated that he would never reprise his role as George Harvey. Despite the screenplay toning down on the violent themes that were depicted in the original novel, Tucci still found his role as a serial killer upsetting and personally found it very difficult to play a character who fantasized about harming young children.
