Actor Cory Michael Smith discusses his transformative role as Chevy Chase in the new comedy 'Saturday Night', sharing how he immersed himself in Chase's filmography and work to avoid impersonation.
You could argue no one was better suited to the job. Smith’s characterization is near uncanny from beginning to end, an impressive feat of transformation. But it’s the prickly pathos he locates within a notoriously big ego that helps the performance stand out within such a big ensemble. Smith prepared by immersing himself in Chase’s filmography and world, and figuring out his line of attack.
” And then we went on Thanksgiving break, and he spent his Thanksgiving break rewriting this episode—an incredible act of generosity and collaboration. I’m like, “I’ve waited two and a half seasons for this moment. I want it to be as great as it possibly can.” The show ended up being so impactful and empowering to me because I really got a voice. We made 100 episodes of television. I had my training ground there.
