Corin Nemec Talks Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck - Movieweb
June 13 2007
Corin Nemec breaks down playing the role of a mass murderer, what else he has going on and why Parker Lewis Can't Lose isn't on DVD yet
Having appeared as the title character on one of the best '90s shows ever (Parker Lewis Can't Lose), Corin Nemec seems like he could have easily made a career out of playing zany characters who are one step ahead of the establishment.
However, Nemec seems determined to play every kind of role which is why his turn as a killer in Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck is such a departure. This film tells a tale that was started on July 14, 1966, when Richard Speck took 9 student nurses hostage. As he held them, Speck methodically beat, raped and stabbed them to death. This case was one of the bloodiest mass murders in American history.
Recently, Nemec sat down to talk about the film and the possibility of Parker Lewis Can't Lose coming to DVD.
You were an executive producer on this film and you starred in it... what attracted you to Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck?
Corin Nemec: Well, I wasn't the Executive Producer, I was the Associate Producer on it which is a much lower level of producer. (Laughs) I look forward to being an Executive Producer one day. What attracted me to it was the fact that it was more of a character study then it was your normal slasher, bloodlust type of film. Knowing that it was based on the true story, as best as we could base it on due to the budget constraints we were under, and the fact that we weren't shooting in Chicago or Texas... basically, that's the main thing that attracted me. It was more of a character study than a slasher movie which is normally, when you're looking at those kind of budgets and that genre, that's what you get.
