Paul Dano on Going From the Riddler to Spielberg’s Dad: ‘It Was a Really Good Antidote’ | TIFF 2022

In the Toronto International Film Festival premiere “The Fabelmans,” Paul Dano plays family man Burt Fabelman, in a part modeled after director Steven Spielberg’s own father Arnold. The role is a marked contrast to his most recent theatrical appearance in this year’s “The Batman,” where he portrayed a sadistic and terrifying version of comic book villain the Riddler. Speaking with Variety senior entertainment writer Angelique Jackson, Dano spoke about making the shift between the two very different characters. http://bit.ly/VarietySubscribe http://www.facebook.com/variety http://www.instagram.com/variety http://www.twitter.com/variety
