Zac is in currently in Hawaii and is being honored with the “Shining Star Award” at the 2010 Maui Film Festival. The Honolulu Star Advertiser asked him a few questions about the award, Charlie St. Cloud and more:
What was your reaction when you learned that the Maui Film Festival was going to give you its Shining Star Award?
I was stoked. Not only is it a huge honor, but I’ve been looking for a chance to come back to the island. I have so many great memories there.
What attracted you to your role in “Charlie St. Cloud”?
It looked challenging and fun. It’s a different type of character than I have done before. His journey is a powerful one. It really left me thinking.
Because it’s so different from some of your previous roles—it’s been described as a departure from “squeaky clean” to serious drama—what do you hope it will do for your acting career?
“Charlie St. Cloud” still has that wish fulfillment that the audience would expect based on my other films. However, it feels more suspenseful, mysterious and supernatural. It is a much more emotional role. I hope it serves as a memorable transition into older, more complex characters.
