Hauser continued:
“I have the feeling we did a good job in honoring our source material, Naked gun. And there aren’t that many people that would fearesly walk into that leslie Nielsen-Type Role, and Liam did it incredibly well. I had times where he made me break character because he’s just doing the deadpan thing that he’s can do with action and intensity, but the content of what he’s saying is so ridiculous. There were times where they yelled ‘cut,’ and it was like reading a balloon out, where I was just like, ‘oh my God,’ You know? Just an exhausted Laughter because you are trying to keep it together during the take. “

“So he clearly had some of that going on and was pretty wayward in being a grifter, rather than a father and husband,” added hauser. “But I also empathize with him, empathize over the fact that he probably just had a chip on his shoulder, a chip on his spirit, and he was trying to provide something, too.” From IFC films, The Luckiest Man in America will be released in theaters on Friday, April 4, 2025.
