“I’m pretty obsessed with Eddie Redmayne as it stands. He’s the nicest, sweetest, loveliest person. Everything about him is just lovely. He’s really delightful.”
“Dan Fogler is just amazing. So talented and so fun.”
“Calum Turner, I also love. He gives me shit in the best way and I give him shit too. He’s also really fun.”
“I didn’t shoot a lot with Mads or Alison. I got to do a lot of my press with Mads. He is so funny. He makes me laugh. He’s so mischievous [and] keeps me on my toes. I really enjoyed doing a huge majority of my press tour with Mads.”
Dan Fogler Talks About “The Offer” in Recent Interviews and the Idea Behind Playing An Icon
Dan Fogler is a man of many talents. Many Potter fans came to know him as the lovable Jacob Kowalski in the Fantastic Beastsfilms and his acting range continues to land him signature roles. One of Fogler’s most recent roles as Francis Ford Coppola in The Offer on the Paramount+ network is getting a lot of attention. Fogler opened up about his excitement about this role in recent interviews and this could be a great series to put on your “to be watched” list.
The Offer is a biographical drama miniseries that showcases the development and production of The Godfather film by Francis Ford Coppola which was based upon the novel by Mario Puzo. The series focuses on the never before seen experiences of making the film and you can stream the 70s dream team series now.
Dan Fogler and Patrick Gallo in “The Offer”
Fogler admits that when he became an actor, The Godfather affected him professionally. He grew up with the film always being part of his life and culture in subtle ways.
Between Part 1 and Part 2, you cover all the great actors, and such amazing performances. I watched it, studying them, and really that was my master class. Those movies are really when I first started realizing, ‘Oh, I want to do this stuff.’ I would pick an actor like Brando or Pacino or De Niro, and just reverse engineer, watch all their movies. But ‘Godfather’ was the catalyst.
Before stepping into the shoes of Coppola, Fogler had a one-on-one conversation with James Caan, who starred in The Godfather. Fogler reveals that talking with Caan gave him “some great little feedback,” and “little gems that were really helpful” when it came down to this character. You might recognize some other stars in this film like Patrick Gallo (The Irishman,When They See Us), Matthew Goode (A Discovery of Witches,Downton Abbey), Burn Gorman (Pinocchio,The Dark Knight Rises), Colin Hanks (King Kong,How it Ends), Giovanni Ribisi (Boiler Room,Avatar 2), Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick,Footloose), and Juno Temple (Atonement,Horns). If you haven’t started the series, the trailer looks intriguing.
Fogler did an interview with his costar, Patrick Gallo, for Collider and they both discussed the surreal pressures of taking on their characters, learning to own their performances, and the importance of finding a really good cannoli – which is something we can all agree on.
Inanother interview for Screen Rant, Fogler and Gallo talk about the struggle of actually getting the film made. The series dives into how it almost didn’t happen and the way everything came together for one of the greatest films of all time.
Foglercan’t help but hope that Francis Ford Coppola sees his portrayal of him in The Offer, but also understands if he doesn’t.
I would love for him to see it. That would be the ultimate stamp of approval for him to say ‘I love what you did.’
Fogler thinks the series will have people getting back into The Godfather or discover the movie for the first time and that in itself is magic.

*tries not to scream* *screams* AHH SO GOOD! Wow new wizarding america! Much new people, terms, creatures, and more! Very more acting potential with older, experienced cast, allows for darker tones in what was darker movie, will probably continue with darker movies in sequels. Big mysterious mystery, figure out who is who (Doge figured out both parts of this, but I’m getting better at doing that). Fantastic big magic action fight scenes, reminiscent of HP7part2. Such anticipating sequel because only get bigger and darker. Can’t want to see Ilvermony (next movie, PLEASE!!!)! Must watch again to catch new creatures and terminology again and learn, study all before sequel. AHHH! 4 Paws!

Has anybody seen this yet? I realise it’s not quintessential viewing for staunch retro aficionados and John Hughes purists. However, if you are in my age bracket (an 80s child), you like dumb comedy, young romance, and you have had your own “best night ever” you will probably take something away from it. I saw it the other day finally, and I loved it.
Major complaint was the lack of the namesake song. I think that’s what sold me in the first place…
VootSelect They’re in the last lap now! With a new enemy around, how will Al Ruddy and his team get ‘The Godfather’ to the big screen? Watch and find out.
