Interview by Paul Salfen
David Henry talks about his role as the young Ronald Reagan (age 18-29) in the film REAGAN, the 40th President of the United States and one of the most prominent conservative figures in American history. From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan’s when Reagan first catches the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating. Dennis Quaid brings to life a story that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, offering a profound exploration of the enduring impact of the power of one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey.
David Henrie also talks about his upcoming film MONSTER SUMMER, in which he directs Mel Gibson as retired police detective who teams up with a group of friends to embark on a monstrous adventure to save their island
