Kevin Kline-Henry Harrison is impoverished self-styled aristocrat that tries to live the high life as an escort to wealthy old ladies this is how he describes himself; I have wit, intelligence and joie de vivre. He is very judging and becomes upset at the slightest things. His views are as he says “slight to the right of the pope”.
What I thought of his performance: I love Kevin and had heard he was great in this roll and I liked him in this but was disappointed in his performance. I just felt he was not up to his accurate comedic timing.
Paul Dano-Louis Ives seems to me as an unaware and almost child like prep school English teacher who recently was let go from his job moves to New York sees an add to share an apartment. He ends up moving in and being tutored by the owner of the add/apartment in ways he could never have expected. He reads and fantasizes about what he reads his favorite being “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald. He wanted to try something other than teaching and looked for jobs in the writing area and when he applies for a job at a environmental magazine he gets it. He ends up fantasizing and falling for one of his coworkers( who I think sort of reminds him of the character Daisy in the “Gatsby”).
What I thought of his performance: I have not seen Paul in very many things only Little Miss Sunshine and Gigantic but I liked him in both and thought he was very very good actor and after watching The Extra Man I still feel the same. I believed he was Lois.
John C. Reilly- Gershon a building weirdo with lots of hair and beard. When you finally hear him speak his voice is high. He is a friend of Henry and at first he is mad at Henry which is why do not hear him speak.
What I thought of his performance: I think he could have done more with this especially the voice.
Katie Holmes- Mary works with Lois at a small environmental magazine, she is vegan, beautiful(that is said of her in the movie)is sweet, and in a new relationship.
What I thought of her performance: She is in it more than I thought she would be and all she did I liked. You could tell that her character was a little put off by Lois but she was not over the top about it. There is a surprise with Katie in the movie which I totally liked so I hope some of you will see it soon so I don’t have to hold it in much longer.
Patti D’Arbanville-Katherine is a hooker who’s specialties interest Lois Vivian – Marian Seldes one of Henry’s rich clients
What I thought of her performance I really liked this performance this actress did a great job.
Celia Weston – Lagerfeld (Meridith)- sort of like an extra friend to the same women as Henry is an extra man.
What I thought of her performance: I really like her performance as well.
All in all I liked the movie and think of it as in a true sense an indie movie. Paul and the way he made me like this weird person helps me remember why I go to see indie movies. They are little gems that are not big worlds but glimpses into places you might not see if it weren’t for this movie. You feel, you laugh and after you wonder.

The Extra Man (2010) > Trailer Screencaps
The Extra Man centers on Louis Ives (Paul Dano), a young man who sees himself as the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. When he’s forced to leave his job at a Princeton prep school, he heads to New York City to start over, where he finds work at an environmental magazine and falls for co-worker Mary (Katie Holmes). But Kline’s the one who really changes things for Louis. In a particularly apt piece of casting, Kline is “a penniless, wildly eccentric and brilliant playwright” who likes to dance to obscure music, sing operettas, and play “the extra man” to Manhattan’s wealthy widows. As the official synopsis explains, “The two men develop a volatile mentorship, which leads to a series of urban adventures — encountering everything from a leaping lion to a wildly jealous hirsute neighbor to drunken nonagenarians to a shady Swiss hunchback.”
Need I say more? Dano and Kline going on adventures under the directorial eye of the man who gave us American Splendor should be enough. But we’ve also got Katie Holmes returning to the Kline fold for the first time since The Ice Storm all those years ago, and John C. Reilly also co-stars (yes, that’s him behind that scruffy beard). The film won’t hit screens until July 30th, but impatient types can get a dose early when it hits VOD on June 25th.
Theater Premiere
July 30, 2010
Magnolia Pictures has acquired US rights to 2010 Sundance entry “The Extra Man,” a comedy starring Kevin Kline and Paul Dano and directed by “American Splendor” team Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini.
Berman and Pulcini wrote the film with Jonathan Ames, novelist and creator of HBO’s “Bored to Death,” and based on his novel of the same name. It was produced by Anthony Bregman of Likely Story and Stephanie Davis of 3Arts, and also stars Katie Holmes and John C. Reilly.
“In a time when some believe that independent film distribution is a thing of the past, it’s invigorating to work with a company with an exciting vision for the future,” said Berman and Pulcini in a statement. “We have already learned so much from Magnolia, and are thrilled to be in business with them.”
“‘The Extra Man’ is an incredibly charming and howlingly funny film from a movie-making team that I’ve admired since American Splendor,” said Magnolia Pictures President Eamonn Bowles in a statement. “The cast is great across the board and Kevin Kline gives one of the greatest performances of his career, ranging from comic absurdity to pathos with amazing panache.”
Magnolia describes the film as: “Dano stars in the film as Louis Ives, a daydreaming writer who fashions himself a modern day F. Scott Fitzgerald, who sets out for New York to make a name for himself. He rents a room from the eccentric Henry Harrison (Kline), a failed but brilliant playwright who lately finds work as an “extra man”—an escort for wealthy society widows. The two form an unexpected bond, and Henry introduces Louis to a fantastic cast of eccentric characters that could only be found in New York.”
Magnolia is planning a late-July theatrical opening for the film, which will play the film festival circuit this Spring, including opening night at both the Sarasota and Boston Film Festivals. Magnolia SVP Tom Quinn negotiated the pact with Agnes Mentre and Carole Baraton of Wild Bunch, and CAA.
