In anticipation of directorGavin O’Connor’sThe Accountant,now playing in theaters everywhere, I sat down withJ.K. Simmonslast week for an exclusive video interview. We talked about how his life changed after winning the Oscar forWhiplash, if people now say “Academy Award Winner” in front of his name, his first day filmingZack Snyder’sJustice League, the look of Jim Gordon, and more.
For those not familiar withThe Accountant, the film is a crime drama/thriller with a very unique hero at its center. Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a math savant and small-town CPA who prefers to spend more time with numbers than people, which works to his advantage as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. When Christian takes on a legitimate client, in the cutting-edge tech company Living Robotics, a discrepancy involving millions of dollars puts his life in very serious danger. The movie also starsAnna Kendrick,Jon Bernthal,Cynthia Addai-Robinson,Jeffrey Tambor,John LithgowandJean Smart.
