The reviews are in for Age of Adaline, and it looks like Ingruber is getting strong notices even from critics who disliked the movie overall. Here are some samples:
Boston Globe: "25-year-old Anthony Ingruber (âThe People vs. George Lucasâ), a sometime Ford impersonator, uncannily playing his character as a young man"
San Francisco Chronicle: "Also worthy of note is Anthony Ingruber, who plays the same character in the flashback scenes, imitating Ford shamelessly, from the voice, to the swagger, to the sneering wise-guy smile."
Globe and Mail: "Anthony Ingruber, a Canadian actor noted for impressions, delivers a fantastic, cocky young Harrison Ford"
Daily Bruin: "He is also outshone by Anthony Ingruber, who plays young William, with a trademark smile that is much more impressive than [Michiel] Huismanâs acting."
Dana Barbuto (syndicated): "As Fordâs younger doppelganger seen in flashback, look-alike Anthony Ingruber perfectly apes Fordâs gravelly voice and presence."
And then there's this, from an interview with the director on Fast Company:
"Krieger says that after Ford saw the movie, the first thing he did was call him up and say, 'Anthony Ingruber is a miracle,' and itâs one that other people have noticed: Krieger has fielded questions about the visual effects needed to create a young Harrison Ford from film classes and reporters, but, he says, 'Itâs 100% Anthony.'"
Whether he gets cast or not, if the director's quote is accurate, Ingruber's gotten HF's seal of approval, which probably means more to him than that of any critic.
Haven't seen the film yet, but I definitely plan to...
