"There is a kind of role that I've always wanted to play that I feel like I'm getting to play for the first time, which is kind of a cocky, quick *sshole. I watched Chris Pine do a role when I was a teenager in this play Fat Pig that's that. This Is Our Youth has that. Glengarry Glen Ross has Ricky Roma, especially, has that."
"Even if you read [Gionfriddo's] preface to the play, it's really interesting because she talks about people wanting to ascribe guilt or blame or who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. And she kind of says, 'I would fix up any of these people with my friends, maybe with some caveats.'"
Alden Ehrenreich reflects on his childhood inspirations, including classic films and actors. He expresses excitement about playing a cocky character in Becky Shaw, a role he has long desired. The play, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, features Ehrenreich as Max, whose disastrous date reveals the characters' flaws. Ehrenreich notes that these flaws do not make them unlovable, emphasizing the play's exploration of human complexity and the challenge of labeling characters as good or bad.
