CELEB HÍREK: Kurt Russell Talks Studying Son Wyatt While Playing the Same Character in ‘Monarch’

For Kurt Russell and son Wyatt Russell, starring together in the new series ’Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ provided them with a unique opportunity to play the same character in two different time periods.

’Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. The pair follow clues that lead them to uncover events from the 1950s, involving Officer Lee Shaw, and through the present, when the organization is threatened by what an older Shaw knows about their machinations.

The dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets and how epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

“I suddenly found myself saying, ‘God, well, Wyatt’s gonna create this character, and I’m going to play him later on in life, so its gotta all make sense,” Kurt shared. “And I suddenly realized I’ve watched him all his life, but I’ve never examined him.”

Wyatt said: “The challenge was to make you care about the characters and have real depth, so that was what we took on. And it was fun to be able to do that. It was fun to be able to do it with my dad.”
