Veteran actor Jeff Kober spoke about working with his director and costar, Jake Johnson, in the movie Self Reliance in his new uInterview. 

The film centers on Johnson’s character, Tommy, and what happens to him when he accepts an invitation to play a game where he has to outsmart hunters who are trying to kill him. If he is successful and lives, then he will win a million dollars. 

When Kober was asked if he would survive a death game like the one in the movie he replied, “It’s just way too much work. It’s like a whole month he has to be on the ball and you see during the course of the movie that it’s not that easy,” he told uInterview exclusively at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

He also described what it was like to work with Johnson in the movie. 

“The big scene that Jake and I did together where we were just sort of hanging out and talking and for me, it was very enjoyable and relaxed and for him, it was very dangerous and not real. It was a lot of fun and it was just the interplay of the two of us,” he said. “It was really fun.” 

Kober has acted in numerous movies and TV shows over his long career including The First Power, Lost Voyage, China Beach, One Tough Bastard and Out of Bounds. He has been nominated for five awards and won three of them. These include one Daytime Emmy Award for General Hospital, one Vegas Movie Award for Later Daters and one CinEuphora Award for The Walking Dead.
