Interview: Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) and Charles Melton (May December)

Months after his film American Fiction took home the Toronto Film Festival’s audience award, Jeffrey Wright is no longer on strike and able to talk to Chris Murphy about the film that resonated with him in surprisingly personal ways. Then, David Canfield talks to Charles Melton, who was as thrilled as you might imagine to share the screen with Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman in May December, and who holds his own with a performance that draws on his Army brat childhood and his insistence on never fitting into a single box.
