It might sound like an odd admission, since Milton is so dislikable. Several critics have dubbed him the villain of Marty Supreme, and at minimum, he stands in direct opposition to our frenetically ambitious hero. ⁘I'm not a villain,⁘ O'Leary says. ⁘But I know ⁘people say that.⁘
In conversation, O'Leary initially projects a clear separation between actor and character. The 71-year-old Zooms in from Miami in street style, wearing a color-blocked, floral-patterned satin bomber jacket over a black T-shirt and a gold chain ⁘ a far cry from the crisp suits of Marty Supreme , or Shark Tank for that matter.
In October, O'Leary publicly criticized the Marty Supreme production for hiring and paying extras instead of just filling in backgrounds with AI inserts for cheap. ⁘I remember doing shoots back in 1984 in arenas where we put cutouts in the seats,⁘ he says now, arguing his comments were taken out of context. ⁘They did that in Ben-Hur . You didn't make people sit there for 16 hours. Today, I think we would do that with AI and it would be the same thing.⁘
