Phil Brooks is not CM Punk. He was, for 15 years, and still uses the name when it fits, but as he pointed out in a recent chat with, CM Punk was a character that he played, and not the man himself. The former pro wrestler, retired since 2014, has branched out into acting, with a starring role in the recently released horror film, which is currently in theaters on a limited engagement, and available on demand.
Paste: The closer to the girl the worst it got. So the exterior shots were of the same house as the interior?Paste: It is a very creepy looking house. So did you have any history of acting before you got into pro wrestling? Like high school drama or anything like that?Paste: So there are no second takes in wrestling. What was it like adjusting to the schedule and process of making a film?: Oh my God, it was like a luxury.
Paste: That’s part of growing up, and obviously this guy didn’t grow up fast enough. So, why was it important for you to be billed by your real name instead of the name you’re more famous under?: I don’t know if it was really a conscious decision. I think it was more like I just got an email one day because they were doing the titles and were, like, “what do you want to be?” Let’s just be Phil Brooks, know what I mean? Because I do very much feel like that C.M. Punk is a character. So to put C.
Paste: In one scene it almost drops into your open mouth, and you’re just like “hey okay do it to me, I don’t want to know what it is.”Paste: You mentioned Steve Albini. When I saw his name in the credits, and also Tim Midyett from Silkworm, I knew it was going to be a cool-sounding score. And it is. And then the movie ends with that
