[Exclusive] Brent Jennings on 'Lodge 49': "I was pretty optimistic in the beginning"
67-year-old actor Brent Jennings ('Moneyball') plays Ernie Fontaine in AMC's 'Lodge 49' starring alongside Wyatt Russell, Sonya Cassidy and Linda Emond
"It was perfect, but I didn’t realize it was perfect until later."
There has been something quietly charming about AMC's 'Lodge 49' ever since the show aired last month. It was a far cry from the usual sunny California life - the show talked about human emotions and loss of every kind. It isn't your usual fraternity concept and is definitely not your usual television show. This story did not have a bad guy, but it believed in flawed characters. The story floated through the craters in the souls of its characters with undeniable ease, and in the middle of the story, we find Ernie Fontaine. A middle-aged man desperately trying to make life work as he watches his window of opportunity to be someone slowly closing.
