Glee’s Max Adler in “AWOL”
(No Ratings Yet) 
Loading ...Glee's (ick) Max Adler spills something about his role in an upcoming Vietnam war movie, AWOL. I'll have to do some digging to uncover some more on this one.
But, FTA:
....I'm going back to Michigan in August to film my next movie, "AWOL." It's a Vietnam war movie, dealing with soldiers and the college kids back in America protesting. It's a really interesting look at what the media tells people to believe about war, and what the media was like then and what it is now. It's one of the best scripts I've read this year for a movie so I'm really thrilled.
What's your role?
I play one of the soldiers. Me, Liam Hemsworth, Austin Stowell, we all play soldiers. I don't want to say too much about the plot or what happens and who goes AWOL.
Did you do a lot of research for the part?
I have, I talked to my dad and a lot of his friends. Some of them went and some of them just told stories about the draft. The fascinating thing I learned, when I first got the script I thought my character he is very excited to be there and very pro war, but the more and more people I've talked to said that if you were excited to be there you weren't when you landed, or otherwise you didn't want to go. Rarely did someone jump at joy to go to Vietnam, and that was interesting because I feel like in my lifetime now everyone that is stationed is volunteer and they signed up for this. It's their duty and their honor and I have nothing but respect, I could never do something like that. But Vietnam wasn't a choice, it was a draft and I heard stories about people having their friends poke out their eardrum in one ear so they failed their test, or got drunk and cut off their trigger finger to avoid going over there, it was that extreme. You have to put that in perspective and bring the character to that level.
