Film Courage: Have you always been obsessive about your career?
Chad Lindberg: Um…yes. I think you need to be somewhat obsessive in a healthy way. You have to have a healthy ego to be in this business. You have to know you’re good in order to succeed in this business. If you don’t believe that you’re good, then you’ve got to go do something else. Because you are going to get hit, time and time again about how you look, you’re this, you’re that, you’re too old, etc. You have to have a thick skin.
Actually I was Periscoping with someone in the car before this and I said that I was doing this interview. And this guy goes “Hey, get me into the business!” And I said “Get yourself into the business!” [Laughs] Because it is hard work. And he’s like “I want to be an actor.” and I said “Well, unless you are an actor and you are 110 percent into it, don’t do it because it’s tough.”
Again, I’ve had a long, beautiful resume but it is still hard even to this day. I have a movie coming out next year but also I haven’t worked in almost a year. So you have to be able to sustain yourself somehow through this business. It’s tough so you have to be obsessive to a healthy degree. You don’t want to be unhealthy (which is the other way around) and tearing yourself down because as actors I think we are our own worst enemy. It’s much easier to be loving and inviting to somebody else. But how are you to toward yourself? And as actors, man…all of our emotions (watch the video here on Youtube).

Although WEIRD FOLK takes place on election night 2016, it’s not solely about the election and the hysteria associated with it. It’s about the horror that humans can inflict on one another. It is about the ugly monster inside us all. We show all sides of the political spectrum and do not skew in any one direction. More importantly, this story is extremely entertaining and will give you some laughs and some chills. Election 2016 was an anomaly and the events that take place in this movie are as well.
