Actor Tim Robbins saddened by the decline of films from the 1970s due to his own change in career direction.

It seems that the days of the "maverick gamblers" in Hollywood are long gone. Nowadays, the industry is dominated by big-budget blockbusters and franchises. However, there are still a few actors who have managed to maintain their artistic integrity and Tim Robbins is one of them. At 66, he is a veteran of the industry, known for his powerful performances in films such as The Shawshank Redemption and Mystic River.

In a recent interview, Tim discussed his role in the second season of the dystopian sci-fi series Silo. He revealed that what drew him to the project was its exploration of existential questions that are relevant to our society today. Tim's character, Bernard, struggles with the concept of truth and how it is controlled by those in power. Tim reflected on how this theme is still prevalent in our current political climate.

Tim also shared his thoughts on his co-star Rebecca Ferguson, who is not only a talented actress but also an executive producer on the show. He praised her leadership skills and how she leads by example on set, especially when it comes to the physically demanding stunts. Tim also mentioned their experience working together on the original Top Gun, where he had a small role early in his career. He fondly recalled how he used his off time to write, direct, and produce a play, which was a great opportunity for him as a young actor.

Growing up in a family of entertainers, Tim's destiny may have seemed predetermined. His parents were both performers, and he was the youngest of four children. Tim joked that he had to learn how to be a clown to survive at the dinner table. But he also credits his upbringing for his love of the arts and his natural progression into acting.

When asked about his most beloved film, The Shawshank Redemption, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Tim expressed his gratitude for being a part of such a timeless and impactful project. He joked that he could have been famous for some silly comedy, but instead, he is remembered for a film that has touched many people's lives. Tim also talked about his transition into television, explaining that it was not a conscious decision on his part, but rather a result of the industry's shift towards big-budget productions.

Tim also shared his thoughts on the state of Hollywood and how it has changed since the 70s. He referenced the film The Player, a dark satire about the industry, and joked with director Robert Altman about how they may have been too nice in their portrayal. When asked about how he relaxes, Tim mentioned his love for hockey and his theater company, The Actors' Gang, which serves as a reminder of his passion for the craft.

In the end, Tim expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he has had in his career and how he continues to find joy and fulfillment in his work. He also encouraged viewers to check out the second season of Silo, which is now streaming on Apple TV+.
