Los Angeles, Oct 19 (IANS) : Director Peter Segal claims wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista surprised him with his acting depth while working on the upcoming action-comedy, “My Spy”.
“I am thrilled that we made the right choice in casting Chloe Coleman with Dave.I really wanted an opportunity to work with Dave Bautista.He has so much to his acting and I think with ‘My Spy’ people are really going to see and get surprised.
“Initially, with Dave, I knew what I was getting but he still surprised me with his depth and range.But it would have been a totally different story had we not cast Chloe.
She makes the movie really what it is,” Segal said.
Talking about the casting process, the director said: “Dave perfectly fits the bill of a CIA corporative and it felt very real.To find a complete opposite of him in Chloe Coleman was a dream for me.With child actors it can go either way.But Chloe is a real deal.”
He also revealed that they “had very easy natural chemistry”.
“My Spy” is about a hardened CIA operative and his unlikely nine-year-old sidekick.The film also stars Ken Jeong, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Nikki Hahn, and Devere Rogers, and has been released by PVR Pictures on October 16
