My parents weren't involved in show business but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
[The Coen brothers] hire the same people over and over again, so there's a shorthand between all of the people they're working with.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
That's something that Francis [Ford Coppola] would always say. I remember when I was doing Tetro, he said, Stay innocent. I'm 69 years old, and I'm still innocent.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I want to make movies that people see. I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do.

Image
An era that I specifically like is sort of late 50's, early 60's. I guess mid 50's too. I like these types of films that deal with post WWII America and this more complex leading man that kind of emerges from that.

Image
I think that having had [Steven Spielberg's] confidence in me probably made me a little more immune to feeling as bad about myself in the face of rejection. I also was just so young - I was unaware enough to not take it too seriously.

Image
With 'Hail, Caesar!' it was about all the skill sets I had to learn, but each movie requires a different way of working. You're a piece in a new world, and there is always a difficult part within that world. For me, it's not consistent from movie-to-movie, each film has a central challenge.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
The biggest challenge to being an actor is when you're not working, just being unemployed, the downtime and not having anything to do.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I really feel lucky that I still feel excited about the actual work that I get to do. I just happen to love it, and I could easily see, for somebody else, that not being the case.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
But even a kid, directing was something that I did. I made short films in school. I feel like I've been in the best film school in the world.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I feel like I would have ultimately ended up pursuing acting. It probably would have been much more difficult and taken a lot longer for me to get into it professionally.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I auditioned for four or five years and didn't get anything after that.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
Acting-wise, I've had all these experiences. Yet when I look at certain people whose careers I admire, they've gotten to play so many different characters. So it's just that - getting to have more of these singular little adventures where you get to be a part of a completely different world.

Image
When I worked with anybody like Woody Allen, there's the name, and your understanding of who they are before you meet them, that stays in your head a little bit.

It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.
