Seacrest interviews Kinnear during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his role in the TV show Rake. 

There’s a pre-existing show here for Rake that Peter Duncan had created  down in Australia and the kind of terminology is in that Aussie speak, somebody who is morally loose with women and booze and maybe drugs and has some problems.

Heaven is for real

0 Comments

In this drama directed by Randall Wallace, Kinnear plays Burpo a father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extra ordinary life changing experience in the world. Co-starring: Connor Corum, Margo Martindale, Lane Styles and Thomas Haden Church. About his first impression of the story:

It’s funny. When I first met with Randy Wallace, who is an incredible writer and filmmaker… in fact, I’ve worked with him on We Were Soldiers … I went in and he held up this book, Heaven is for Real with a little boy on it, hands in his pockets, and he said, “You seen that? And I said, Nope. I wasn’t familiar with the book, and he proceeded to just tell me about the story. And I thought even if it wasn’t a book or based on a book, I thought it had great potential as a movie. Then, obviously reading the script, I was really, really happy.
