Choke: The Sam Rockwell Interview

When Sam Rockwell walks into the room and shakes my hand, he looks distractingly like Eric Knox, his nouveau-riche hipster software mogul/villain from the tragically underrated Charlie's Angels. He's also easily distracted by the assorted bric-a-brac on the conference table -- my tape recorder, a bowl of candy, mini-sodas, etc. -- but despite our mutual distractions, we soon get down to business to discuss Choke, the new film adaptation of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk's book, that's been picking up good buzz since its debut at Sundance in January. (Rockwell sat near me at the premiere, heavily disguised in a preposterous wig.)

Those who hold Palahniuk's work to be generational holy writ will breathe easy to know that Choke follows the material faithfully, telling the story of Victor Mancini, a Gen-X wastoid who spends his days working an absurd job as a historical actor at a colonial village and his nights perpetrating a scam in which he intentionally chokes on food at fancy restaurants. Oh, and he may or may not be Jesus Christ, reincarnated.
