Entertainment Spotlight: Wyatt Oleff, I Am Not Okay With This
We got a kick out of chatting with Wyatt Oleff, who stars as Stanley Barber in I Am Not Okay With This. Along with his memorable (and fashionable) portrayalĀ of Stanley Barber, heās also been in multiple films including It (different Stanley),Ā Guardians of the Galaxy, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
When you think about your experience of filming, is there a specific funny moment or story that sticks out?
We went to a resort called Nemacolin in Pittsburg, and it was a whole weekend of activities [for my birthday where the cast got to know each other]. And after that we performed considerably lower than we used to according to directorĀ Jonathan Entwistle. He said, āEverything was great before then.ā
If the show was a musical, what scene or episode would Stanleyās big number be, and what would the song be called?
Mine would be in episode 1-02 which is about Stanley and Sidney, and it would be called the āMaster of One F**ckā which is the same name as the episode, which I think would be very fittingā¦ Actually, I change my answer opening of 1-04, Iām singing the song [ āThe King of Rock āNā Rollā byĀ Prefab Sprout].
Whatās your favorite thing that you saw on the internet recently?
Thereās been a lot new on the new Animal Crossing game. Iām really excited about it!Ā
Do you feel a certain connection to the name Stanley after playing more than one character with that name? Does Stanely feel like an alter-ego at this point?
I think it was pretty weird and coincidental that Iām playing a Stanley again. I know that a lot of people are like, āOh, heās playing Stanley again. Heās meant to be Stanleyā and I get it, itās fun. Personally, I kinda donāt care. Itās a different character to me, I donāt really identify the character by their name but more of how they act. I donāt feel like Stanleyās an alter ago, heās more of a different version of myselfā¦ which is an alter ego. A little bit then, yes. I think heās a little different from me in a couple ways, but I definitely feel like weāre very similar.
Thanks, Wyatt!Ā Everythingās Gonna Be Okay season 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
