“Iconic characters, dude.”
Matthew McConaughey and Jeff Bridges appeared together to discuss their most iconic roles to date during the fifth season of Variety and PBS’ series “Actors on Actors.” Though both having an extensive roster of eclectic roles to choose from, the pair were quick to select a particular favorite from their filmography.
For McConaughey, his most memorable role is David Wooderson in the cult-classic “Dazed and Confused,” which was also his first prominent role in a feature film. He notes that his interactions with “Dazed” fans are among his favorites.
“I have some people come up to me and say the first line of a ‘Dazed’ line and I’ll say the second half back,” says McConaughey. “And that’s my favorite fan [interaction].”
“I love that, man,” replies Bridges, whose “The Big Lebowski” character remains close and dear to him.
