Nathan didn’t know if he would be left on the cutting room floor or if he would see himself on the big screen in Gotham. Lewis, tall and slim, caught glimpses of his 6-foot-4, 165-pound frame in about six scenes of the fast-paced flick. Other extras, he said, were not that fortunate.
The movie opens nationally on Friday, and Nathan is inclined to see it again.
“I enjoyed it, but it was a little much to take in,” said Nathan who is working for his master’s degree at the state University at Potsdam and is student-teaching in Rochester. “I want to see it again in a relaxed mood. It starts out pretty strong, and it’s unnerving to relive the experience. I don’t have a huge role in film. A lot of scenes were not in it. It’s action filled and makes good points about the Iraqi War. There’s a lot of truth in the movie.”
