In Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Life of Chuck', multiple actors portray the character Chuck at different ages, with Tom Hiddleston as adult Chuck and young Benjamin Pajak as tween Chuck. Pajak, a Broadway performer, shines in his film debut alongside stars like Mark Hamill, garnering praise for his heartfelt performance. His unexpected connection to Hiddleston, who plays the same character later in life, adds an interesting layer to the narrative, while Pajak shares insights on his experience and inspirations from working with legendary actors.
I had such an amazing time working with Mark and Mia, and they've both been such inspirations to me, and they've motivated me to keep doing good work.
It's an auspicious one at that, the kind of star-making role you simply know when you see.
Pajak will likely capture the most attention for his work here, thanks to his wonderfully open-hearted performance.
One thing Pajak didn't know initially: He and Hiddleston were playing the same role. How's that for a Hollywood twist?
