After playing pretty much everyone, Bill Pullman comes full circle with 'The Sinner'
Bill Pullman has been it all -- the lover, the pilot, the wrong-doer, and the president, and now his new role sees him trying to fathom why anybody commits a murder at all.
Detective Harry Ambrose is not just a detective who is trying to unveil the reason behind the murder of a man by a middle-aged young mother in broad daylight, but he is a man who conceals a dark truth about himself and is trying to cope with a failing marriage.
Ambrose in 'The Sinner' leads the kind of life which Bill Pullman calls "a patchwork quilt of bizarre, disparate obsessions." As an actor who arrived in Los Angeles to be a part of a newly established theatre, and who has eventually acted in over 50 films, Pullman's interest however chiefly lies in vaudeville, trombones, and everything agricultural including cattle, barns, tractors, and his orchard. Probably that is why Pullman is often said to be a man born out of his time.
