The four hours of make up are entirely worth it as the end result is amazing." One would think that working on such an iconic show would give him a big head, but Runyan is still firmly focused on the work. "The whole project is completely top secret but I can tell you that it's going to be huge. Runyan also made his film "CASSIDY" for the National Film Challenge in 2012, which came in second place and also won an Audince Choice award that year.Īccording to his IMDB page, Runyan will be taking on yet another challenging role next year-that of Klingon leader UJILLI in Star Trek: Discovery. His 2011 film "FADE IN" won Best Film, and his 2013 film "CRACKMASS" came in second place. Runyan participated in the 48HFP three different times in his hometown of Toronto. But participating in the 48HFP has shown him that it's OK to be free to pursue different kinds of creative impulses, and that's what gave him the confidence needed to tackle a role like Falco. He feels that often actors get trapped into trying to get it "right", which actually limits their ability to be truly expressive as actors. Runyan credits his experience with the 48HFP with some of the freedom and creative choices he has made in his work with Gangland Undercover. "Falco himself was constantly making up stories to save his ass, so I too was trying to convince the show runner that these things really happened to me. Runyan knew that in order to win the role of Falco, his improvised stories would have to not only be quick, but also believable. Show runner Stephen Kemp got in on the action as well, drilling Runyan about the details of his improvised "life" as Falco. Auditions consisted of an improvised scene where Falco first meets the Vagos and attempts to befriend them. Runyan's own improvisational skills were put through the paces during the audition process. While living undercover, the real Falco had to rely on his quick wits and ability to improvise a believable lie on the spot in order to conceal his true intentions. My neighbour was in a restaurant that some Hells Angels frequent and he overheard them talking about the show-they claimed to like the show and actually said 'I dig that Falco dude'. "I have met some bikers who watch the show and they love it mind you I've not met any who are depicted, and I'm sure they would have a different opinion. One would think that a TV show about an undercover informant would garner a less-than-enthusiastic response from bikers in general, but Runyan has found the reception to actually be quite positive. "When playing a fictional character this canvas is unlimited your imagination provides the colours, whereas the real person has experienced and lived it already." "The beauty of playing a real character is the access to the details of their lives the more specific you can be with the sensory of the world and the greater you can inhabit it," Runyan states. While Falco's memoir was able to provide a solid road map, it was the conversations with the man himself that provided Runyan the fodder he needed to really connect with the role. To prepare for the role, Runyan was able to go straight to the source-Falco himself. Gangland Undercover is based largely on Falco's memoir "Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws." The real Charles Falco spent three years as an undercover informant working in one of America's most dangerous biker gangs, the Vagos. Runyon plays the role of real life undercover biker gang informant Charles Falco on the History Channel's TV series Gangland Undercover.
