We spoke w/ Kyle Chandler on 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,' the venture capitalist Bill Gurley, and the 'Early Edition' reboot.
From creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien and based on a true story, the Showtime series Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber follows Travis Kalanick , who started one of Silicon Valley’s most successful companies in Uber, but who was also ultimately kicked out of his own boardroom. The upstart transportation company rocked the business world as Travis’ win-at-all-costs approach fueled its meteoric rise into a multi-billion dollar machine while also being responsible for its downfall.
KYLE CHANDLER: Because of what the story is, I knew it was gonna be fun because it’s just so outlandish. Looking back, I probably thought, “I get to play a guy who’s gonna have egg all over his face quite often, and that’s a fun place to be.” He has no control and he can’t control what’s going on around him. How this whole thing started for me was that, after reading the book, I knew then that answer was yes. When I read the book, I realized that I’d never heard anything about any of this.
CHANDLER: I really didn’t either. I knew the role he played, and I knew how he had to function within that world with Travis. I initially started out watching him on YouTube. He speaks quite a bit and he has a blog, so I read a lot of that. He’s from Texas and he’s a straight shooter when he’s speaking. He can speak about how fusion is different from fission, and go into the details of it within a five-minute little speech and you’d understand. He’s just good at making things simple.
It was fun to do these scenes working with Joe [Gordon-Levitt] as Travis. He’s pretty duplicitous. As soon as you sit down with him, you’re wondering what’s going on behind those eyes. What is he really thinking? What is he really saying? There needs to be a bubble above his head with what he’s really thinking. That’s fun, as an actor, to play. In the real world, I don’t know how it changed him, but I think he was worn by it. It had to have worn him. I don’t think that’s who he was.
