admits he’s warmed to finding his own sense of zen calm — not with watercolors and brushes, but with Crayolas.
Wilson’s character, Carl Nargle, is decidedly not feeling good after his longstanding niche — painting bucolic scenes on Vermont public television — and in turn his whole existence, is challenged by an upstart rival. With the retro-placid, afroed image of Ross, who died in 1995, having become pop culturally ubiquitous in recent years, adorning t-shirts and other merch, the actor said he relished luring in Ross adherents and flipping the script on the tranquil icon.
Writer-director Brit McAdams had been working on tweaking the Ross-ian image for years before the late painter became a fixture of the current zeitgeist. McAdams was inspired to write the story after a stint working at VH-1 in his 20s exposed him to celebrities whose edgy behind-the-scenes behaviors were out of alignment with their affable public image. He wanted to explore the idea of fame and stagnant growth on a smaller, more absurdist stage.
