Rob Riggle plays an essential role in Midnight Sun, as he plays Katie Price’s father (Bella Thorne), a teenager with a strange illness that prevents her from being in contact with the sun. Completely dedicated to take care of his daughter, this role represented a challenge for the veteran actor.
"Normally, comedy is my thing," Riggle emphasizes, "but what attracted me to this was precisely the opportunity to play a dramatic role. I'm not given many dramatic possibilities, so I was very excited. “
And to achieve this record, director Scott Speer’s work was of vital importance. And this is how Riggle says it: "I never played a role that had so much emotion, and that made me nervous. I was out of my comfort zone. But I felt safe with him and we were able to work together on some things. It helped me think about issues that kept me firm on what I was doing."
Midnight Sun an uncontrollable love
Locked in her room by a disease that does not tolerate contact with sunlight, her life changes when she meets Charlie Reed (Patrick Schwarzenegger).
Midnight Sun is coming soon!
