During Flickering Myth's interview with The Other
Side of the Door actor Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead), we brought up the other show she used to be in: the enormously popular Prison Break.
Enter the remaining cast
of characters, both major and minor: the janitorial staff
of the classified underground wing
of the compound, Zelda Fuller (Octavia Spencer in a role written for her by del Toro) and the mute Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins, radiant in a star - making role); the attending government scientist Dr. Robert Hoffstetler (Michael Stuhlbarg), also a Russian double - agent; and,
of course, Elisa's next
door neighbor, Giles (Richard Jenkins, deserving
of a Supporting
Actor nomination), who frets about growing older and his hair loss, pines for love with a local pie shop employee and shares his passion for musicals with the equally besotted Elisa (they sit
side - by -
side on the sofa performing a quick soft shoe).
When Greg Sestero (Franco) first meets Tommy Wiseau he's a famously baby - faced teenager with a look that is, if anything, possibly too All - American and boy next
door and Wiseau appeared to be roughly seven thousand years old and the least American
actor this
side of Roberto Benigni.
