It's been a long time since we caught up with Bruce Davison, a lifelong actor whose latest film, Casa Grande, is now available on digital platforms. He talks about the pride and perils of guiding a career that incorporates theater, films and television—and how he keeps that fire burning within. From Ozark and The Lincoln Lawyer all the way back to Willard (where he worked with a rat named Ben, sung about by Michael Jackson) to X-Men, he continues to distinguish himself as a performer of enormous skill and range. He also shares the career-defining advice he got early on from Robert Aldrich, who observed him trying to compete with the charismatic Burt Lancaster.
