bruno gunn interview

From Ohio.com
Gunn, 44, has been acting for about 15 years. Born Bruno Gioiello, Gunn will play the combatant Brutus in Catching Fire, the second movie based on Suzanne Collins’ series of novels set in a future society that pits players from different regions against each other in a to-the-death battle of wits and skill. The first movie made more than $400 million in the U.S. in 2012 and further propelled the career of actress Jennifer Lawrence, a recent Oscar winner for Silver Linings Playbook.
Gunn has done comedy, including Bad Teacher, lots of independent films and TV shows like True Blood and Sons of Anarchy, often as what VH1.com’s Halle Kiefer dubbed “menacing middle-aged hunks.” He is the first to admit that the parts aren’t always big or especially memorable.
“I’m either the guy breaking into your house, or arresting the guy breaking into your house, or trying to track down the guy breaking into your house,” he said in a telephone conversation, though he is proud of all his performances. And they led him to Catching Fire.
