Seth Becomes Him
It’s not easy being Seth Green. Sure, the small-framed,
big-talking actor is extremely good--probably the best there is--at
playing clever sidekicks and snarky supporting roles. But when
you’ve nailed the part as often as he has (e.g., this
summer’s hit caper flick The Italian Job), it can
become as confining as a Mike Myers fat suit. So when Green, 29,
was given a shot at a different kind of character--the dishy,
swishy best friend of a club kid who kills his drug dealer--the
Austin Powers costar was prepared to shelve his bags of shhh
and get to work right away. “I felt like I’d won a
lottery,” he says. “Everything that I’d done
before, no matter how dramatic or challenging, paled next to the
scope of this.”
