TheFabelmans star PaulDano was surprised that Spielberg wanted him to play the mild-mannered electrical engineer Burt Fabelman, a character based on Spielberg’s father. The Times sat down with Dano to discuss:
The young actor kept his cool while playing Steven Spielberg under the watchful eye of ... Steven Spielberg in ‘The Fabelmans.’
To be asked by Steven not only to play his father, but to play this man who I found to be incredibly decent and full of integrity … that felt really good. And it was the right timing in my life to get to do that. Steven’s parents are in a lot of his films, whether we know it or not. There’s an early interview of Arnold’s that was very important to me. One of the first things he says in it is that “electronics was a way of life for me.” And I think Steven could say “movies are a way of life for me” quite easily. Just like Steven found the camera early on and got glued to it, Arnold built a crystal radio and got hooked on electronics. So there’s a real clear connection.
