NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Fargo and Shameless alum William H. Macy says deciding to co-star in the uplifting, fact-based film, Soul on Fire, was an easy "yes" for him.
"I got the script. I read it. I cried. I laughed. I was moved," the 75-year-old Emmy winner told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"It was a no-brainer. I like to read things in one sitting, read them fast, skip the stage directions, just read the dialogue and it's pretty easy to see this movie in your mind's eye," he added.
"And I'm endlessly fascinated by the character I played, Jack Buck. He's an icon. He is beloved by millions, but sort of enigmatic, things like he did in our story. He did that a lot. He was an interesting guy and very private about it all."
A spark of hope can carry one a long way.
