In Rod Lurie’s The Senior, Mike Flynt (Michael Chiklis) has never forgotten his departure from his college football team and wondered how it has shaped his life. Determined to rewrite history, he tries out at age fifty-nine and sets out to prove that he has what it takes to lead the team to victory.
Awards Buzz spoke with Chiklis about how this story resonated with him and speaks to ideas of hope and redemption. Watch the video above to hear him reflect on some of the key roles from his career, including The Shield, and the short-lived, lesser-seen projects he still regards as very worthwhile.
The Senior opens in theaters on September 19th.
