\u201cI<\/span> know I wouldn\u2019t have been able to make Barry if hadn\u2019t been for The Skeleton Twins,\u201d admits Bill Hader, tracing the lines that connect his unassuming 2014 indie-drama to the critically acclaimed HBO hit-man series he made just four years later.<\/p>\n

Before starring in director Craig Johnson\u2019s second movie, Hader was best known as one of Saturday Night Live\u2019s most valuable performers; a comedic powerhouse with memorable characters and impressions to spare. It was a reputation that had quickly earned him equally memorable spots in big-screen comedies Superbad, Tropic Thunder and Hot Rod but deep down he yearned for something meatier. \u201cI was excited to try something different,\u201d he tells Little White Lies, \u201cand I was very lucky that Craig saw something in me to be able to play this part.\u201d<\/p>\n

The part he\u2019s referring to was about as far from a typical Hader role as you could get. While his SNL fans were used to seeing him trying not to break in a big blonde wig on sketches like The Californians<\/a> or tipping Seth Meyers off about New York\u2019s newest hipster hangouts as uber-cool culture correspondent Stefon<\/a>, The Skeleton Twins invite Hader to open his heart and his wrists to play someone more grounded, authentic and complex.<\/p>\n

In Johnson\u2019s world, he played Milo, a gay thirty-something who suddenly finds himself back in his childhood hometown after a failed suicide attempt, living with his twin sister Maggie, played by Hader\u2019s Saturday Night Live co-star Kristen Wiig. As we watch Milo try to mentally put the pieces of himself back together we learn that Maggie has her own demons that are slowly doing their best to erode her marriage with her perpetually happy hubby Lance, played by Luke Wilson. So far, so serious \u2013 so how did Hader overcome his reputation as a laugh factory to land such a layered role?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kind of stuff [I was getting offered at that time] was mostly authority figures based on Superbad and this movie I did called Adventureland,\u201d says Hader. \u201cI really love those movies but [the roles I was seeing] were always the young protagonist\u2019s doofus boss.\u201d Determined to mix things up, Hader decided to take part in an unpaid table read for a different genre of script to prove that he wasn\u2019t just a funny face. \u201cIt was Kate Winslet, Bradley Cooper, Paul Dano, Greta Gerwig and me,\u201d he remembers. \u201cI was like \u2018What am I doing at this table\u2026\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Imposter syndrome aside, Hader\u2019s stint at the table read was a success and impressed the right people. A few weeks later, he received a phone call from the casting director who had set it up, this time with a new proposition. \u201cShe said, \u2018There\u2019s this script called The Skeleton Twins and I think you\u2019d be really good for it.\u2019 I read it, loved it and went to meet Craig.\u201d A period of development hell followed while the film struggled to secure financing but when it landed on the desk of a fresh-from-Bridesmaids Wiig, everything changed. \u201cSuddenly, we had the money overnight and we were ready to go,\u201d recalls Hader.<\/p>\n

From the start, Hader knew that his portrayal of Milo had to be different to the other gay character he was synonymous with playing on Saturday Night Live. \u201cI remember saying [to Johnson] \u2018I don\u2019t want this to be Stefon. I like Stefon but this isn\u2019t Stefon,\u2019\u201d he says, of wanting to deliver a more three-dimensional portrayal of an openly gay character.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe writing was beautiful and I responded to that. I so badly wanted to do something different. It\u2019s funny,\u201d he continues, \u201cI feel like if I did that movie now, I\u2019d probably put in a little bit more subtlety.\u201d To illustrate his point, Hader recalls the way he handled an early scene where Maggie first meets a teary Milo after a decade spent apart \u2013 and his unsuccessful suicide attempt. \u201cI found out later that [Johnson] was like, \u201cI didn\u2019t really want you to cry during that scene\u2019,\u201d he laughs. \u201cAll actors just want to find someplace where they can cry \u2013 and I fulfilled that cliche.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The vulnerability demanded by the role was no small thing and made even more daunting thanks to his reputation as a breakout comedian. Despite a decade having passed since The Skeleton Twins came out, Hader still has trouble recalling certain moments, like the first scene he shot where Milo visits a local bookstore and unexpectedly comes face-to-face with the former teacher whom he had an illicit underage affair with whilst still in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my very first shot [as Milo]. We\u2019d never rehearsed and Craig had no idea how I was going to play it. Even I had no idea how I was going to play it,\u201d says Hader, remembering the scene he shared with Ty Burrell\u2019s teacher Rich. \u201cI remember Craig coming over to me afterwards and saying \u2018Oh, so he\u2019s out\u2026\u2019 and I said \u2018Yeah, I kind of see him as out.\u2019 It was so nerve-wracking. Even today, if I see a still from that [scene] I get massive anxiety because there\u2019s always a fear that you\u2019re going to do something and the filmmakers will look at each other and say \u2018This is not what we wanted at all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, having a close-knit set and his Saturday Night Live colleague of the last eight years by his side gave Hader the confidence to lean into a new side of his personality. \u201cKristen was and is a beautiful person, very empathetic and a real friend. Our first scene together is where we\u2019re in the bar, I\u2019m in drag and we slow dance together,\u201d says Hader, recalling a rare moment of levity in Johnson\u2019s film. \u201cThat was her first day seeing me act as Milo and she was such a great cheerleader. We\u2019ve worked with each other for so long, it did feel very much like a brother and sister [relationship]. There wasn\u2019t much discussion, we just kind of felt it out. We knew what the other would do and we just did it. There was a feeling of fearlessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the film, Maggie and Milo share various ups and downs as they grapple with their broken psyches. This turbulence helps them reach euphoric highs, like the fully-improved scene in the dentist\u2019s office where the pair goof around. However, it also delivers some painful lows, like the moment Maggie finally airs her unvarnished true feelings about Milo\u2019s affair with Rich.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dentist scene was fun because we were both just laughing,\u201d remembers Hader. \u201cKristen\u2019s such a good improviser and so good at playing off of you and feeling your energy. We were all in awe of her. What I remember most about the argument scene was that we filmed it on the morning of the awful Sandy Hook massacre,\u201d he reveals, explaining how The Skeleton Twins\u2019 most painful scene was shot amid a real-life tragedy where a shooter opened fire in an American elementary school. \u201cWe were all in a very weird, devastated headspace. When I see that scene, what I remember is hearing this truly awful, unimaginable news and that somehow being a part of it,\u201d adds Hader. \u201cAlso, Kristen and I having to hurt each other didn\u2019t feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shot in just 22 days, The Skeleton Twins debuted at Sundance in January 2014 before going on a limited theatrical release later that year. Hader still remembers the film\u2019s grand festival premiere as a \u201cnervewracking experience\u201d \u2013 so much so that he had to abandon the screening entirely and wait it out at a nearby coffee shop. However, when he caught wind that the film was being warmly received \u2013 especially during the scene where Milo playfully lip-syncs to Starship\u2019s \u2018Nothing\u2019s Going To Stop Us Now<\/a>\u2019 \u2013 he tentatively headed back inside the cinema.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople liked it,\u201d smiles Hader. \u201cI remember that night, someone from Sundance said \u2018Tonight, you guys are the toast of the festival. Enjoy it because tomorrow night this movie Whiplash is premiering and no one\u2019s going to be talking about you\u2019 \u2013 and he was right,\u201d he laughs, referencing the arrival of Damien Chazelle\u2019s drumming drama.<\/p>\n

10 years later, The Skeleton Twins has ended up helping people on both sides of the camera. For Hader, it paved the way towards his critically-lauded hit-man drama Barry: \u201c[HBO] said we\u2019re interested in working with you but not based on the work you did on Saturday Night Live, we really like what you did on The Skeleton Twins,\u201d he reveals For audiences, it has emerged as an unlikely therapeutic tool. \u201cI\u2019ve had people come up to me who have dealt with depression or had a relationship with an older man in high school and felt shame about it say they feel less alone after seeing this film,\u201d he smiles. \u201cThat\u2019s been really rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
