With a lead role in A&E’s spooky new drama The Returned, Jeremy Sisto isn’t doing so bad.
The 40-year-old actor couldn’t help looking back to the pivotal part in Titanic that he definitely didn’t get and Leonardo DiCaprio did in a recent interview.
The role of hero Jack Dawson who saves his lady love Rose DeWitt from a sinking ship in the middle of the freezing Atlantic Ocean made an A-lister out of Leonardo, a fact that makes Sisto somewhat envious.
‘I was just insanely inspired by it and a little heartbroken when the role didn’t come my way,’ Jeremy told HuffPost Live of James Cameron’s epic 1997 romance.
Jeremy, who was 21 when he tried out for the role, was moved by DiCaprio’s performance and enjoyed the movie when it came out.
‘I loved it,’ Jeremy said of Titanic. ‘It was a huge thing at the time. What a great idea.
It was the first script that I’d read where someone was actually going to make the movie. It was exciting to just be a part of the process. There was a full crew, full set and make-up and hair and wardrobe.
‘I read with Kate as well as three other actresses. It was on a stage, a room that was supposed to be the boat. It was a pretty great experience, to be involved in something that had that kind of scope… James Cameron was trying to push the limits on things.
