Jarrod Michaels (35) sighed to himself and wondered how much more of this aspiring acting scheiße he could take as he sat staring into the dressing room mirror on set of Turning Point: Hitler’s Demise.
Michaels, who had dreams of being the next Ray Meagher, is starring in his 5th WW2 documentary, where he plays a lead role no one would ever really want to put to their name: Adolf Hitler.
With his thick toothbrush moustache and puffy face, Michaels long ago got typecast as Hitler. Rather than shaving off his lip warmer and joining the sea of other puffy white male actors, Michaels decided to carve out his niche.
However, this afternoon as he readies himself for yet another fist banging re-enactment, Michaels is contemplating if he backed the wrong Nazi.
“Ja it is goot to have money to put food on ze table, but I am sick of it” said Michaels in a heavy German accent, having committed to going method a few roles back – but not full method, he assured The Advocate.
A career change at 35 is not unheard of these days, but for Michaels that would mean giving up on his dream.
“My dream role could be around ze corner, you know? Ich hear Bay is doing a Nazi Transformer movie and Christoph Waltz turned down the role of transformer Hitler… so I vill apply for zat role, ja.”
But until that time Michaels must continue on his re-enactment journey, and for the sake of humanity and his own sanity, hope that he doesn’t go full Adolf.
More to come.
