After a nine-year pro career, Riley hung it up at 30 and, as Brody says, “found himself out in L.A. Before Riley became a Hall of Fame coach, he had been a college hoops star, Brody learned, and then a reserve on a title-winning Lakers squad. Brody didn't know much about the coach prior to preparing for the part, but he quickly learned that Riley's story was more complex than he realized.

When we meet, the Lakers series is still in production, and as we set off on our walk, Brody-in hiking boots, a Yankees cap, and aviators-explains that something a little strange is happening with the Riley role. Now, though, he's got a run of parts in projects with auteur-level creators that finally seems properly calibrated to his abilities-and that seems likely to show audiences a different kind of Adrien Brody. And oftentimes, his work was the best thing about the films in which he appeared. Brody has always applied his maximum-effort Method approach, no matter the quality of the material. “I did a lot of fun stuff, but now we're catching it at a good moment,” he says. Keenly aware of how often these things are left to chance, he's excited that so much is happening at once. (Their fifth is already under way.) And sometime next year, he'll appear as two legendary figures: the playwright Arthur Miller, in Blonde, the Netflix film about Miller's wife Marilyn Monroe, and the basketball coach Pat Riley, in Adam McKay's HBO series about the 1980s “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers. After that comes The French Dispatch, his fourth film with director Wes Anderson. He's in the third season of Succession, in which he'll play an activist investor butting heads with the Roy family. This fall marks an unusually prosperous stretch for the actor. He also decided, not long ago, to spend a few years doing anything but acting. He is still the youngest best actor winner in Academy Awards history. “I would do whatever it takes for a role,” he says, “and everybody in my life understands that and respects that.” Like all actors, he's had highs and lows, but maybe because of that intensity, Brody's highs have felt higher-and his lows perhaps lower-than many of the actors we think of as his peers, and whom he calls his friends. In that time, he's become known for the intensity of his commitment to the job: losing weight or gaining muscle or crawling across the forest floor for a part. The cherries are terrific.īrody is 48 now, and has been acting professionally for more than 30 years. He's a charmer, no doubt-but also an actor who relishes doing the deep work of preparation, no matter the role.

We meet in the parking lot at the base of a popular Los Angeles hiking trail, and he quickly hands over the bounty he's prepared for us: a plastic container full of cherries and watermelon, along with a couple of bottles of water, some fresh-squeezed orange juice, and two pieces of buttered toast wrapped in a paper towel.
