How Clancy Brown and Frank Darabont Created a New Breed of Stephen King Psycho
The director of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION didn t mince words, but Brown says that s what brought out his best work as a bad guy.
Clancy Brown played sadistic prison guard, Captain Byron Hadley, in
The Shawshank Redemption. But he felt that the character was “such an asshole” that he didn’t want to base him on any real correctional officers who served as consultants on the set. This approach to the role, he says, gave him the freedom he needed to portray “the creature that Stephen King imagined a horrible, horrible guy.”
WORCESTER Everybody’s favorite fictional serial killer is going to be stalking the streets of Worcester for the eagerly anticipated reboot of Showtime’s “Dexter.”
The original eight-season run of “Dexter” premiered in the fall of 2006 and starred Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a blood-splatter expert who moonlights as a serial killer who usually only kills rival serial killers.
Hall, who won both a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for portraying the series’ deeply complicated and conflicted title character, is expected to be in the city for filming.
The Worcester filming is slated for 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 11, according to Chris Wos, the assistant location manager for the project.
