Don’t Underestimate ‘Captain America’ Star Sebastian Stan

“When I go to work I don’t discriminate it as a comic-book movie,” says Stan over coffee at Manhattan’s the Gander. “It’s full-on commitment. That’s all you can do.” Stan and his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars, who include such awards season heavyweights as Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, and Michael Douglas, are using sheer talent to elevate the ostensibly lowbrow genre.

“A lot of these people come back and they don’t know how to function in the world anymore; the world is not embracing them in the same way. That was a big part of this character’s journey in this film: Understanding the world that he’s finally found himself in. How is he going to function there?”

+++“People have their own stigmas about it,” says Stan frankly. “I know when people are considering me for jobs sometimes it’s, ‘Well, you’re in a comic-book movie.’ And I’m, like, ‘But I’m killing myself to try to do the best I can!’ ”

“Sebastian embodies the notion of a hardworking actor,” says Joe Russo, who co-directed both “Civil War” and the franchise’s second installment, “The Winter Soldier.” “His level of commitment is fantastic. He really finds the greatest level of detail in his performance.”

According to Stan, listening is one of his biggest challenges in front of the lens. He marvels at Marlene Dietrich’s ability to remain still and allow audiences to project emotion onto her. “The trick is to shut off your brain,” he says. “ ‘Be interesting! Do something interesting! You’re staying too long in the same angle!’ It has to be about courage and you have to deal with that part of your brain that likes to edit and censor you. Maybe some don’t have that. I, however, do.”

The only way to learn on-camera technique, he continues, is just to do it. “The earlier that starts happening the better, because that’s its own entity. I would hear that word ‘green’ all the time those first few years, or ‘not enough experience,’ or ‘doing too much.’ ” In fact, for almost three years after college, Stan went out for countless acting gigs and booked approximately zero.

“Expectations,” he says, “really fuck you up. It’s OK to have dreams, it’s OK to have goals, in my opinion. But I really think it’s much more about the climb and the work you do on the way up. The climb is really hard and really rough, but it’s also the best part because there are still places to climb up to.”

As he’s heading out to do more “Captain America” press, Stan recalls something his acting teacher and mentor Larry Moss told him after his graduation. “He said, ‘You’d better start loving that process—getting the job, working on the character. Start loving the experience much more than the result.’ ”
Even those horrific auditions?
“You don’t have to love the auditions, no,” he says with a laugh. “You just have to love what you’re auditioning for.”
