For most of his six-decade-long film and television career, actor Michael Douglas has played a lot of straight, white American men in contemporary settings. Casting an eye down his filmography, there are no princes, palace courtiers or spacemen to speak of.
“Being a celebrity made it easier to play Ben Franklin because you see how you conduct yourself in a world with the public, and you learned, over the years, how to make other people feel comfortable in situations,” Douglas adds. “You reach a point in your career where you’re not going to put up with it. This is not surgery, this is entertainment.”
“Autocracies are much easier. Democracy is imagination. It’s creativity,” Douglas says. “It’s hard work creating something fresh and new, but at the same time it seems to be very attractive to a lot of people and a tremendous amount of ingenuity comes out of it.”
