As Wolverine, Hugh Jackman also brings the intensity to the big screen, but stories in Hollywood abound about what a nice guy he is. Narducci had the opportunity to cross paths with him when the two shared a scene in Bad Education, the Cory Finley-directed film that dramatizes real-life behind-the-scenes shenanigans at a Long Island’s Roslyn High School. The actress played a character named Sharon Katz; Jackman starred in the movie as school superintendent Dr. Frank Tassone — a role that, if it didn’t quite require Weapon X-level fury, still played into the actor’s ability to work with extreme emotional dynamics.
That said, Narducci paints Jackman as very giving, both off-camera and on, which continues a tradition we’ve heard about before. “Hugh Jackman is a very generous actor. I can tell he’s probably a generous person in life,” says Narducci. “The second day, he bought everybody a lotto ticket. He gave lotto tickets out on set. So, just to say what the set was like, very kind, very … And most of the time, just so you know, the bigger the actors, the less ego, I think. And the less trying to prove. So, I love working with the big guys, because the set’s always like there’s no ego, I feel.”
