Interview: Glen Powell, Jessica Henwick, and Topher Grace Talk How to Make a Killing

John Patton Ford impressed this viewer with his feature film debut, Emily the Criminal. The film featured an excellent performance from Aubrey Plaza and brought humanity to the character. It’s a marvelous independent feature. One that gives the filmmaker the chance to prove what an impressive voice he has. Here, he offers his storytelling talent for yet another fascinating character. Imagine Glen Powell as a man ready to claim his fair share of the inheritance, no matter the cost.

How to Make a Killing (read our review) is a smart and satisfying dark comedy. Ford has crafted a savagely satisfying story with rich characters and his knack for dialogue. Much like Emily, the cast here offers terrific work. It includes the brilliant Margaret Qualley, in addition to Glen Powell, Harris, Topher Grace, Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods, and more. Much like his previous feature, Ford creates a charismatic lead with Mr. Powell. The actor brings such clear charm to his work that it becomes quite easy to root for him… even if he is planning a few dastardly deeds.

On Valentine’s Day, I made my way to The London Hotel to speak with some of the fine talent featured. Having spoken to Glen for The Running Man, I was looking forward to chatting again. He, along with co-stars Jessica Henwick and Topher Grace. The trio discussed working with Mr. Ford and finding a bit of fun in taking on the colorful characters.

As the interview went on, Henwick and Grace mentioned how enjoyable it is working with Powell. Topher, having known Glen for a couple of decades, had high praise for the actor. And frankly, it’s not hard to see why. Glen is an incredibly kind and down-to-earth type of guy. He is wonderfully chill and just very easy to talk to. So much so that I especially appreciated the on-screen chemistry between him and Jessica. It translated to these three terrific actors.
