Holt McCallany’s performance as Fritz was sensational. He brought a true sense of a man who never captured his dreams and lived vicariously through his sons to full full his longing need to be a champion. His love and support for his family was clouded by potential unfulfilled. The script was written to set him as the main antagonist but Holt was able to bring a humanity and regret to the character in small and quiet moments. I think his portrayal of Fritz was nuanced and subdued in a way that most actors wouldn’t be able to capture.
I love that Holt was so serious about the roll that he went to wrestling school, he didn't have to go that far but he wanted to know how wrestling would effect his life. So incredible.

Holt's performance as Fritz Von Erich? Is right up there with Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight.
I am so happy they cast the right guy. Not enough is veing said about the performances in this film.
