Ever since actor Michael Ferra, he broke out in Superbad in 2007, has a wonderful tension around his persona screen: Is this guy a huge duck, super cold cool dude, or somehow both? Of course, the last choice is the answer, but that did not prevent Fera from relying on his more mercury, enigmatic qualities as a performer. From George's discomfort to George Michael Blatt in "Arrest Development" to the title Kung Fu fighting with the hipster hero of "Scott Ajir against the world" to perfect Explain Alan's qualities in Barbie, Jera has demonstrated many times because he understands the irony inherent in his personality. This has led to more deliberate and pointed stories of that irony, such as playing A dishonest version of himself in "This is the End", and a double role in "Youth in Revolt", Where the shy character of Chera creates a departure, a "cool" alter ego.

All of this led to Jera's association with two of the most characteristic directors of the author who once lived: David Lynch and Wes Anderson. In both cases, it feels like the CERA cooperation with them has come for a long time, as the vibration and the actor's sensibilities fit so well with every director. It may sound strange, given how different visual styles of Lynch and Anderson, but there is an overlap in the way every director uses an ironic, dead, non-sector humor. For lynching, this humor serves his absurdity and surrealism; For Anderson, it helps him show events with high stakes and cruel emotions with meta-pursuing. As is the case, the strong sides of the Ferra as a contractor take place perfectly with both approaches.

Perhaps this is why Ferra's performances in The third season of Twin Peaks of Lynch And in Anderson's latest film, the "Phoenician Scheme", are so similar. It certainly helps both Lynch and Anderson rifor the iconography of the 1950s (lynching, direct Anderson). However, the largest connective tissue is the presence of Ferra, and there is no doubt that his turn like Bjorn Lund of the "Phenic Scheme" remembers his performance as Wally "Brando" Brennan in Twin Peaks.

On Twin Picks, Jera shows Wally, son of Lucy (Kimi Robertson) and Andy Brennan (Harry Gozz). The character contains an element of an explanation before considering the performance of Ferra, as it is a partial payment of the second season comedic subtle, in which Lucy finds himself pregnant, but is not sure whether the father is Andy or Dick Traumine (Ian Buchanan). Until the look of Well does not definitely respond to that mystery, it confirms that, as for he and his parents, Andy is his father.

Decorated how Marlon Brando in "The Wild One", Wally speaks to Sheriff Frank Truman (Robert Forster) in the Pathois of the 1950s, which is between cool and bizarre. While Lucy and Andy Font over his son as if it were a hip, a fat man that behaves like, Truman is less than convinced. It is another wonderful example of Lynch's work, where, instead of presenting something strange and only allowing the audience to decide on her quiet, he allows proxy -Lak to comment on how weird she is.

With Wally, Jera merges the two ends of his spectrum, making the character look funny, while it is really cool. In the same direction as the special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle McLachlan), Wally may be another example of Lynch to have fun with himself. The filmmaker and somewhere the actor knew that his personality in real life hit him the most strangely, and yet they loved him so much about that person no matter what. Similarly, Chera understood in her career how to rely on the public perception of himself, and Wally feels like one of the best, most fun and memorable cases of this.

In "Phenic Scheme" (Reading /Film Review here)Hera remembers his work in both Twin Peaks and Young in Revolt, playing a dual role. For the first half of the film, Jera is Bjorn Lund, Norwegian (with a very pronounced accent), who is employed by industrialist ZSA-ZDA (Benissio del Toro) in order to teach him in his field of expertise, Entomology, as part of the unusual interest of the corda. In the end, just the easy exterior of Lund begins to crack, especially about his clear rapture with the daughter of the Corda, the nun (Mia Treasapleton).

After nearly a fatal plane crash, Bjorn reveals that he is actually a spy for the government of the US-American United States that was recruited by the intelligence community after promising to finance his studies of entomology. Anderson and Ferra work in a relationship to draw attention to the double nature of the character; Although he insists that he is not as different as his true self from his personality, the director and the actor completely changes the appearance and behavior of Bjorn. Ironically, this new Bjorn is approaching Wally Brennan, in a similar way, expressing cool vibration since the 1950s.

Turning on the Ferra both on Twin Peaks and the "Phoenician Scheme" not only represent how perfectly fits into the world of Lynch and Anderson, but also how those directors gave the material to which he was incredibly well suited. Unfortunately, Lynching So Wally will stand alone as a brief meeting between the director and the actor, but someone hopes the "Phoenician" marks the first of many future Anderson/Gera collaborations. Not to be a huge DRK, but I think it will be pretty cold and cool.
