Jonathan Majors plays a uniquely individual sensitive artist in 'Last Black Man in San Francisco.' And helped along his nonprofessional costar.
The DNA of Montgomery Allen was there in the screenplay for “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.” But “anyone who has siblings knows DNA does not a person make,” says Jonathan Majors, who plays Montgomery in the film. “The ‘how’ is kind of the actor’s work.”
“It’s an exploration of something so specific that it does kind of become magical,” Majors said, “like in the way that the town is really being examined. If you look at anything under a microscope, it seems impossible that that’s actually happening. There’s beauty in it, and there’s complexities that you wouldn’t know if you just saw it.”Majors, 30, studied acting at Yale.
Majors and Fails became inseparable during the shoot, developing a very real friendship chemistry. The film’s star had no prior training or experience in front of the camera, so Majors became a de facto acting coach — just like his character.“We had such an ease between us,” said Majors. “I could see where he was coming up against unknown territory, and I just said, ‘This is possibly how you can navigate it.
“There’s a guy, Paul Mullins, who directed me one summer in ‘Our Town,’” Majors said, “and he would always say ‘Good, good, excellent.’ I just thought it was the funniest thing in the world, you know. If you’ve been in drama school for eight years, you’ve got teachers in your head all the time. It was a full tribute to them.”
