Zack Sharf Digital News Director Billy Zane recently told Entertainment Weekly that “actors should get emotional stunt pay” after he transformed into the Sarah Lawrence cult leader Larry Ray for the upcoming Lifetime movie “Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story.” Ray was an ex-con who moved into his daughter’s dorm at Sarah Lawrence college in 2010 and gained manipulative control over her roommates’ lives.
His abusive sex cult lasted for a decade before he was convicted and given a 60-year prison sentence. Playing Rey required Zane to gain weight and film several abuse scenes. “Actors should get emotional stunt pay,” Zane said. “The secondary experience encroaches on the primary.
It really does. You’re recreating much weird trauma. We’re putting coursing adrenaline through our bodies and depleting serotonin and dopamine and freaking ourselves out and the body registers it.” Zane said he was appreciative of the “Devil on Campus” set, which was safe enough where the cast and crew were able to share laughs and check in with each other when the cameras weren’t rolling. “I’ve played nefarious characters in the past and then shied from it for a while,” Zane said about taking on the role. “I couldn’t resist this one because of just the curious nature of it.
