‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ Director On Charlie Day’s Surprising Role In The Sequel [Interview] By Ben Pearson/March 26, 2018 10:00 am EST It’s fair to say that Charlie Day has carved out a niche for himself as an actor. He tends to play the same kinds of characters over and over again: goofy, nervous, guys who aren’t always super confident about the decisions they’re making. In 2013’s Pacific Rim, he switched things up a little by playing Newton Geiszler, a fast-talking scientist with an academic appreciation of the monstrous kaiju emerging from another dimension....

The sixth season arrives at a time when real-life Washington D....
