Sharlto Copley

Click here to read the full article. Learning to skin a bunny, actor Sharlto Copley says, is “not pleasant.” Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and now living in Los Angeles, the longtime character actor considers himself a city dweller. Six-foot-tall and bearded, he has a gentle, mountain man–like presence, but Zooming out of his L.A. home in the hills, he’s a far cry from Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, whom he plays in the new film “Ted K.” For director Tony Stone’s imagining of the Harvard-educated math prodigy who ran afoul of civilized life to live off the land in the...

The ‘District 9’ actor joins filmmaker Tony Stone to discuss their new film, which is based on the life of The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynksi. Opening in theaters and on digital beginning February 18th is the new biopic ‘Ted K,’ which is based on the life of Ted Kaczynksi, better known as The Unabomber.

It’s been more than a quarter century that Ted Kaczynski, the notorious Unabomber, has been imprisoned for killing three, injuring 30 and bringing the FBI to its knees in the country’s largest manhunt ever over 17 years. So why did Sharlto Copley (“District 9”) totally immerse himself to...

In Ted K, Sharlto Copley and Tony Stone don’t quite justify yet another film tackling the complex and horrifying life of the Unabomber. Despite the roughly 25,000 pages of diary entries and The Washington Post manifesto “Industrial Society and the Future,” Ted Kaczynski (A.K.A the Unabomber) remains a largely indecipherable figure. Two recent Netflix shows—the drama series Manhunt: Unabomber and docuseries Unabomber: In His Own Words—have attempted to shed light on the domestic terrorist’s life.

I think after District 9 we all expected to see a lot more from Sharlto Copley. That never really panned out. Sure, we’ve seen him in plenty of roles, usually supporting, but he didn’t become the leading man it seemed that he would. He’s become quite good at playing weirdos and nutballs, which bodes well for his starring role in Ted K, a biopic that goes inside the mind of the infamous Unabomber.

From the mind of acclaimed director and cinematographer (“Peter and the Farm,” “Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America”). Tony Stone comes “TED K,” a bracing, cinematic journey into the tortured mind of The Unabomber. And of course, that Unabomber is played by South African actor Sharlto Copley, known for his work with Neill Blomkamp in films like “District 9,” “Elysium,” “Chappie” and more.
