Interviews
Checking in with Corin Nemec - Blast Magazine
July 16 2009
Blast took a moment to talk to actor Corin Nemec about his role in the chilling "Bundy," playing the title character of serial killer Ted Bundy. We also asked Nemec what inspires him, like ... "The Goonies?"
BLAST: So "Bundy" is coming out on DVD soon, and we have to ask: How did you prepare for playing a character like that?
CORIN NEMEC: Well, you know, really it's about research. The thing that helped me out most was watching certain videos that he did. Namely the big interviews that he had - he did several of them. What caught me most was in some of the video footage of him by news teams when they were filming them, and he was not necessarily aware that he was being filmed. He would get these looks on his face. These really jarred, sardonic looks ... He would kind of break character as I call it. He would go from his social Ted Bundy to whatever is going on inside. That was kind of my peep hole ... and I'd think, "this guys has got a serious dark side."
Not that it wasn't obvious in the first place, but that's what was helpful to me. His motivation - and this I can't confirm - it's what I discovered in my research and what Mike Feifer had discovered in writing this script - though we don't address it in the film - when he realized that he was an illegitimate child, but his father still claimed to be his father. What dawned on me was him possibly being a child of incest. And this was a discovery he'd made after college. And so that to me was the catalyst for his so-called insanity. I thought it was that point that he just completely lost it and went over the edge and really embraced all the dark fantasies that he had.
