My mini-review of the film follows my conversation with Jesse.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: What drew you to this project?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Jesse Metcalfe: <\/strong>I was lucky enough to be offered the role. I read the script. I felt the script was exceptional. I liked the idea that it was based on a true story. I thought that my character, Kari Sorenson&#8217;s, emotional arc in the script was really well defined (and) something that I could sink my teeth into as an actor. You know, I embarked on this incredible journey. I also reunited with (director) <strong>Sean McNamara<\/strong> who I had work with on a television series on the <strong>Hallmark Channel<\/strong>. So, I knew how talented he was. I just thought all the pieces were in place for a successful project. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: Did you meet the actual people involved in the real-life event?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>No, I haven&#8217;t. I never met any of them. I know that both Dennis and Heather were able to talk to Doug and Terri White but I have yet to talk to Kari Sorenson. I look forward to speaking with him (and) getting his reaction to the film (and) my performance. I hope it meets his expectations &#8211; but, no, I never got the opportunity to talk to Kari. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: What is it about his character that you found interesting?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>I liked the idea that he had some emotional baggage, that he had some trauma from his past that was causing him trouble in his romantic relationship, that he wasn&#8217;t really able to open up emotionally. I think he&#8217;s sort of a man of the old guard &#8211; much like Doug White, Dennis Quaid&#8217;s character&#8230;(To pilot a plane) I think you have to be strong. You have to be able to control your emotions (and) compartmentalize your emotions because a lot of people&#8217;s lives are in your hands when you&#8217;re a pilot. So, on the one hand, the ability to be able to do that is a positive thing but, on the other hand, you might find it difficult to express yourself at times. I think that&#8217;s what Kari was going through. Being able to be a part of saving\u00a0 the White family was sort of a cathartic experience for him. It allowed him to heal the wounds of his past and be more present.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: What do you hope people take from the movie? What did you take from the story?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><strong>JM: <\/strong>I mean it&#8217;s a miraculous story. Kari Sorenson was quoted as saying that the White family had less than a five percent chance of landing the plane successfully and surviving. So, it truly is a miracle. I like the message that a lot of people came together to make that miracle happen. It&#8217;s one thing to have faith but it&#8217;s another thing to have faith in the people around you, the people closest to you &#8211; to lean on them and to express your deepest, darkest fears to them and allow them to help you because no man is an island. Not only is it important to believe in something greater than yourself &#8211; and that is faith &#8211; but it&#8217;s also important to believe in the people who love you the most. I think a lot of times people just try to go through things on their own. They don&#8217;t want to reveal their fears or their vulnerabilities. I think that&#8217;s a very central message in this movie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: The movie also kinda shows the best in people.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>Yes, absolutely.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: I also think the movie says something about appreciating every day. I mean Doug White&#8217;s brother died suddenly and then the pilot dies suddenly and then he and his family are suddenly facing the prospect of their own deaths.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>It&#8217;s a very life-affirming film.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: You&#8217;ve done several TV series, including <em>Desperate Housewives<\/em>, the TNT revival of <em>Dallas<\/em> and <em>Chesapeake Shores<\/em> for Hallmark Channel. How do you compare doing a movie with doing a TV series?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>There are a lot of differences. You get to explore your character every week on a TV series. You ever hear the saying that &#8220;Theater is an actor&#8217;s medium, television is a producer&#8217;s medium and film is a director&#8217;s medium&#8221;? I think they say that because most of the central decision making is made by that particular person in each different (medium). I like to work closely with a director on my acting choices (and) my performance. That&#8217;s what film allows you to do. Often times in television your performance can be dictated by the producer of that series &#8211; also known as the showrunner. So, it&#8217;s just a different way of doing things. There&#8217;s a different hierarchy in each medium. I hate to have to talk about something as boring as a hierarchy in an artistic medium but that&#8217;s just kinda the way it is. I approach every character with my same technique as an actor. That doesn&#8217;t change for me but the people that you&#8217;re collaborating closest with that&#8217;s what seems to change.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: Speaking of directing, do you have any bent to go in that direction?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>Well, I went to <strong>New York University Tisch School of the Arts<\/strong> for writing and directing for film. So, I do believe that I would like to direct at some point. One thing that I have learned after 24 years in the business is that directing is probably the most challenging job of them all. You know, you&#8217;re the first person on set (and) the last person to leave. You&#8217;re up all night, if you&#8217;re a serious director, putting your shotlist together (and) working on various things. It&#8217;s a lot of work. So, to direct full time? I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s something I want to do &#8211; but I would like to direct at some point, possibly a passion project. If anything, I&#8217;d lean more towards producing and bringing more stories that I believe need to be told to the screen.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: What kind of stories would they be?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>That&#8217;s a great question! I like emotional stories. I like to really move people. Some people are passionate about making people laugh. Some people are passionate about thrillers and action. I&#8217;m an emotional guy. I like my performances in the stories that I&#8217;m a part to have a certain emotional resonance to them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: Present movie excepted, do you have a favorite role that you&#8217;ve played?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>No. I don&#8217;t have a favorite role. I like to think that my best roles are ahead of me.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: In terms of movies and TV shows, what do you like to watch as a viewer?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>I like family dramas. I really love mobster movies. I really feel like they&#8217;re family dramas mixed with action. They tend to have a lot of anti-heroes in them which I find interesting. I find taking flawed characters and redeeming them to be interesting.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: So, what&#8217;s ahead for you?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>Honestly, I don&#8217;t really know. I&#8217;m going to continue promoting <em>On a Wing and a Prayer<\/em>. I also have two other independent films coming out this year. One&#8217;s called <em><strong>The Comic Shop<\/strong> <\/em>which is about a disgruntled alcoholic comic book shop owner in Las Vegas. It&#8217;s sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kevin_Smith\"><strong>Kevin Smith<\/strong><\/a>-esque. And then I\u00a0 have another film called <em><strong>The Latin from Manhattan<\/strong><\/em> that actually<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/03\/snoop-dogg-the-latin-from-manhattan-war-unfolding-cast-1235313917\/\"> just announced on <strong>Deadline<\/strong><\/a> that <strong>Snoop Dogg<\/strong> came on as a producer and also the music supervisor &#8211; and, I think, he&#8217;s going to have a role in the film. So, hopefully, that will be completed this year and people can see it because I&#8217;ve screened some early renditions of the film and it&#8217;s really good. I&#8217;m really hoping we can get that out to audiences before the end of the year.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: Would you do another TV series?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>Yeah. I&#8217;m open to another TV series, definitely.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JWK: Anything else you&#8217;d like to say as we wrap up?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>JM: <\/strong>Just please tune into On a Wing and a Prayer this Easter weekend on Prime Video. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>My mini-review: <\/strong>IMHO<strong><em>, <\/em><\/strong>as I stated in my conversation with Jess<em>e,<\/em> along with an unabashed positive presentation about the power of prayer, <em>On a Wing and a Prayer<\/em> also reminds audiences of the good in people and value of being grateful for every moment of life. The movie comes off as totally sincere and is certainly suitable for the entire family. It&#8217;s earnest tone, however, may be hindered a bit by the plot similarity to one of my all-time favorite movies, the classic absurdist comedy film <strong><em>Airplane!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Personally, I couldn&#8217;t help but envision <strong>Leslie Nielsen<\/strong> appearing in the cockpit behind Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham (both of whom would be perfect in a new edition of the movie) and admonishing them not to call him Shirley. <strong>The Bottom Line:<\/strong> <em>On a Wing and a Prayer<\/em> is a good family film that doesn&#8217;t quite soar but doesn&#8217;t crash and burn either. It&#8217;s worth a watch.<\/p>\n<p>FYI, I&#8217;m taking off for two weeks to recharge the battery. <strong>Happy Easter and Passover everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>John W.
