Max Adler - Dave Karofsky

[mp1985]

Essendo Max veramente puccio, un ottimo attore e una delle pochissime ragioni per cui valga la pena soffrire le scene con Limoncè e i millemila scambi di coppia, non dimenticando gli adorabili

Volevo aprirlo io un thread su Max, mi hai bruciato sul tempo 
Al momento è l'unico il personaggio dello show la cui storyline mi interessa davvero, visto che ha miliardi di sviluppi possibili e tutti diversi l'uno dall'altro. Che si metta con Kurt o no, mi è indifferente. Preferisco nettamente uno sviluppo psicologico che sentimentale.
E poi è un attore fantastico! Riesce a coinvolgerti veramente e a trasmetterti le emozioni di Dave come se fossi dentro alle scene accanto a lui! Pochi attori riescono a coinvolgerti così!
Vediamo come sviluppano la sua storyline nei prossimi episodi, sono ansioso di vederlo!

mi piace il suo personaggio...e mi piace anche il modo in cui lo stanno facendo andare sulla retta via!!!!

Giusto, il thread su Karofsky ci sta tutto  Max Adler non ho idea di che tipo di persona sia, forse io non lo definirei "puccio", ma come attore mi piace molto: nonostante avessi letto gli spoiler, è riuscito ugualmente ad emozionarmi nella famosa scena in Never Been Kissed.
Dave, invece, mi suscita sentimenti contrastanti. Sono curiosissimo di vedere come scioglieranno il suo intreccio, perchè è obbiettivamente un personaggio interessante (forse l'unico con un pizzico di continuity in Glee). Ma ogni tanto il suo atteggiamento mi sembra esagerato e controproducente (vedi Furt).
Per il Kurtofsky, se deve esserci, e gli sceneggiatori vogliono gestire bene la cosa, è meglio aspettare la terza stagione.

As one of the most controversial new characters on "Glee," Karofsky has been the topic of debate amongst Gleeks this season. Played by Max Adler, the homophobic football star continues to endure a struggle with his own sexuality. After constantly bullying Kurt (Chris Colfer), Karofsky showed a softer side during the Super Bowl episode. But what will the rest of season two hold for the resident bully at McKinley High?

In an exclusive interview with Max Adler today, the Glee Examiner explored the possibility of Karofsky "coming out" this season.

"Gotta stay tuned and keep watching," Max answered about the likelihood of his character coming to terms with his own sexuality.

As Lady Gaga's new single "Born This Way" was released last week, the buzz surrounding a potential "Glee" remake exploded. And while Max was unable to answer whether or not he will be involved in singing a cover of the tune, he did express interest in tackling the song.

When asked about his dream song performance on the show, Max replied: "Well, after hearing Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way,' the lyrics are so powerful and pack such an amazing, positive, and important message into the song, that I think it would be very awesome and meaningful for Karofsky to be involved with that song."

But Max is wide open to a variety of musical genres. He is interested in doing "anything 'crooner' style i.e. Michael Buble (Come Fly With Me) or (Just Haven't Met You Yet), Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. Maybe throw in a little Radiohead to the mix too, just to change it up. It would be fun for Karofsky to perform Radiohead!"

Whether or not Karofsky will sing this season is still a mystery. "We are sworn to secrecy by the producers and they will have our heads if we reveal anything," Max explained about his inability to reveal too many details.
"I never was a bully. But, I have been bullied," Max revealed about his own experience with bullying as a child. "It happened when I was the new kid in school in 5th and 6th grade, and had just transferred away from all my close friends and everyone I knew well, and became the stranger in this big ocean of kids, and got teased and picked on for it. But, having parents that constantly were there to help build my self esteem up by reassuring me that I am a good kid, and did nothing to deserve this, and the kids doing the bullying are the ones with a problem and an insecurity, really helped me to not be so bothered by their pokes and prods and name-calling, and just laugh it off because I now just had sympathy for them."

Taking on this role has been a challenge for Max, but as a professional, he has been able to find a way to connect with the core emotions of Karofsky's character. "I think, truly, that any character an actor portrays, you HAVE to identify with them," he explained. "You don't have to BECOME them, or share their exact same beliefs, or live your life the way they would lead theirs, but you have to know them and identify with them, so, am I a homophobic bully in real life?? Absolutely not. But, do I know who Karofsky is inside and out, and the way HE thinks about everything and the way HE leads HIS life, absolutely!"

Questo è inevitabile, è un pò lo stesso sentimento che provo per quasi tutti i personaggi di Glee: vanno a fasi alterne, fanno cambi di atteggiamento/mentalità certe volte diametralmente opposti. Dave si porta il fardello di villain già dall'inizio della prima stagione, quindi cancellarlo del tutto è impossibile senza qualche sviluppo di storyline o, in senso pratico, qualche azione.
La sua dualità come personaggio mi è più interessante rispetto a quella di altri; Forse perchè alla radice di questo suo comportamento non c'è una questione caratteriale ma un problema di accettazione della sua sessualità.

Secondo me, in alcuni momenti, non è solo un problema di accettazione. Sono daccordo che non può (non deve) cambiare subito, ma la mia impressione è che a volte faccia la cosa più stupida senza neanche rendersene conto. Basta guardarlo in Furt. Anche dal suo punto di vista (in breve: non ammtterò mai neanche sotto tortura di essere gay) continuare a bullare Kurt, anche in maniera pesante, ora che sa di lui, è un atteggiamento a dir poco controproducente, visto che potrebbe smascherarti tranquillamente davanti a tutti.

Intervista a Max Adler (è un pò vecchiotta ma pazienza):

(clicca per mostrare/nascondere)

Q.  Has your recent "Glee" feature led to any other new and recent projects?

A.  There have been a couple offers coming through the pipeline, a couple of Indie films and one really cool guest starring role on a show.  I haven't been able to do it just because "Glee" has been keeping me really busy which is amazing.  There are things that have come up but I shoot a few days a week with "Glee" and then I got to speak at the Anti-Defamation League and I did a It Gets Better video.  I haven't really been doing anything and I probably won't until hiatus.

Q.  Where do you draw from for your portrayal of Karofsky?

A.  I guess a number of different places.  When you first get a character you can't look at him just on the surface as a one layered, bullying for no reason kind of guy.  You have to figure out what his deal is and now we all know what his deal is.  I think about people I knew in high school and the experiences I had.  I hear stories from people from Facebook and people that have tweeted me after that episode and have poured out their hearts and their life stories and explained how real that is and how that happens.  I take from a whole cornucopia of information out there and just put it altogether into my version of what I think Karofsky is.

Q.  What is it about your role that you find challenging?

A.  That's a good question.  The challenge is keeping him vulnerable enough, insecure, afraid, and being the shy boy in the corner with this crazy secret and to play the rough and tough exterior and be this hard edged bully who doesn't take anything from anybody.  It's like putting up your guard while letting your guard down and you have to do it all at once.  That's the challenge of it, but it also makes it a dream role to play really.

Q.  Obviously the storyline you're involved in with your character is very relevant to recent bullying stories in the news.  Are you actively involved with Love Is Louder or any other anti-bullying organizations?

A.  I went to DC two weeks ago and co-hosted the Anti-Defmation League's Concert Against Hate which was this big concert at the Kennedy Center where the National Symphony played and I was up there telling the stories of kids who have hung themselves due to bullying and their mothers and families were in the audience.  It was pretty emotional and I spoke out against bullying to raise awareness.  While I was there I shot an It Gets Better video which is on YouTube now.  Scott from It Gets Better just emailed me and said it's gotten 500,000 views or something.  It's really cool and I've gotten a lot of good feedback from that, people who say it really helped them and it really turned the lightbulb on for them and they realized it is okay to be who they are and they don't have to meet anyone else's expectations.  I am involved and playing this role on this show is an honor and a privilege to be able to have that kind of microphone out there to the whole world and all of these countries.  I am definitely involved in all of that and trying to make a difference.

Q.  You work a lot with Chris Colfer who plays Kurt, did the chemistry with him come naturally or did it take some time to develop?

A.  Instant, instant, it was right there, it wasn't forced at all.  It was so exciting because before I knew that was going to happen (the scene where Karofsky kisses Kurt) I was wondering why.  I toyed with that, I was wondering am I gay, am I jealous of the Glee club, am I not, am I beat up by my dad, so many different scenarios.  When that happened I was like okay, good, this is it.  I was super excited, and again that was going on when all of this stuff was happening with gay bullying so I was like what an idea to have a bully be gay, it was just genius on Ryan Murphy's fault.  It was able to shine a light on reasons that people bully.  Not necessarily saying every bully is gay, but just the fact that they are probably hiding something or are insecure with themselves that it just raises awareness that it's not like they're actually on top, that they are even weaker or more insecure than the people that they are bullying.  I was just honored to play it really and it wasn't awkward.  I kind of wanted to sit down and have a whole talk with Chris about it but the timing just didn't work out.  When we both got to the set we were both there for rehearsal and hair and makeup and then went to shoot it and there really wasn't much talk about it; we just kind of went with it.  It was just an instant chemistry and we really just kind of fed off each other and played with each other going back and forth.  Every scene we've shot has been really, really good and I just feel like we listen to each other and we get it going and it feels really good.  Between us and then collaborating with the director it's pretty cool.

Q.  Has your role on "Glee" changed your take on high school life and social interaction?

A.  Yeah, actually it has.  When you're in high school it's like you don't realize that there is a whole other world out there.  When you're actually in high school you don't think about that, but now being outside of high school and looking back at high school through this "Glee" window you do see that, how there is so much out there and there is so much that happens after high school that high school almost becomes a distant memory.  When you are in there it's like everything is so important.  If you don't go to this party it's the end of your life and if you don't get onto this team it's like the worst thing that can happen.  There's so much pressure because that's all you know, there is actually so much more to high school, it's kind of shown a lot of that to me.  My high school experience was pretty awesome, I had a pretty good time.  I was really involved in student government and show choir and drama and I got good grades but I had a good time.

Q.  How do you feel about all of the attention you're getting with so many fan sites and blogs that feature you?

A.  It's amazing, it's an honor, it's so cool.  I love the fans, they have been nothing but sweet to me, they have the nicest things to say and they are so supportive.  They are nicer than I thought they would be, I thought people would be angry at me, or my character at least for kissing Chris or how dare I put out an It Gets Better video when I play a bully.  I thought there almost would be a negative response, but honestly I've gotten so much positive feedback, thank you notes, stuff about me as a person, great things about me as an actor.  It just means so much and it motivates me to keep going and it's inspiring and validating.  That's kind of why we do it, people are responding that well and are just getting it and it's just a dream come true, it really is and it's so cool.

Q.  Will we get to see any type of redemption for Karofsky?

A.  I don't know, anything is possible, all I know is we're shooting the Superbowl episode right now and I have no idea what's happening after that.  As of now you kind of know what I know.  Anything could happen, and for me as a person, I would like him to be redeemed because I think that would be a great lesson and thing for people to see that it's possible.  I don't know where they are going to go, there are so many more episodes left and there are so many more storylines that I am kind of in the dark.

Q.  How long do you think Karofsky's secret can last?

A.  I think a while, to me, I think it would have to come out.  I think why introduce it and then not have it come out and effect people.  I think eventually the secret is going to have to come out there.  I think for a while he's going to keep it in, I don't think he's going to come out, I don't think Chris' character has any reason to say anything right now.  Karofsky is obviously very afraid and not at all ready to deal with this and he's not even sure what he is or what he thinks.  We just kind of have scratched the surface and I think it'll be a secret for a while.

Q.  What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A.  Just how much I really, really appreciate it and just being in this position has seriously been a dream come true.  I think what every artist wants at some point is validation for their work.  The fact that I keep getting floods of messages of nothing but positive things is really so rewarding and I appreciate it and I read all of the messages and I see them.  The reason we get into this is to inspire people and make a difference and change peoples way of thinking and the fact that it is happening is so amazing.  I just thank all of them.
