Michael Peña on ‘Tom and Jerry’ and What ‘Observe and Report’ Taught Him About Improvising
Feb 28 2021
With director Tim Story’s adaptation of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon Tom and Jerry now playing in select theaters and available on HBO Max, I recently got to speak with Michael Peña about making the live-action/animated hybrid movie. During the interview, Peña talked about why Tim Story had puppeteers on set, how much fun he had being in a movie with Tom and Jerry, what he learned about improvising while making Observe and Report and what his character is up to now, how he comes up with alt versions of dialogue before stepping on set, and a lot more.
