We know the usual story: You go away for a week, you get back, you find that everything is on fire. That wasn’t my story, though. My fan belt has been screaming like a banshee first thing in the morning and it has been going from it squealing for a second, to two seconds, to, like, 10 seconds and stopping for a second, then starting again when I back out of the driveway. So, last Friday, I talked to my supervisor and said “hey, I called the place and they don’t have an appointment available for me on Friday… can I take my day off on Monday and come in on Friday instead?” and she made noises about whether I’d really want to come in, wouldn’t I want to use a vacation day instead? Everything is fine, so on and so forth and I said that, no, it’s fine… I also wanted to check in with my various teammates and projects and see if I couldn’t get started on the process of turning the crown fire into a brush fire again. And I get to work and… everything is mostly okay?
Apparently, the various managers of some of the other teams also took that week off and anything that caught fire was not fanned by management, and so somehow managed to take care of itself. “I thought you were on vacation this week!”, my boss said to me as I sat down in the lab. “So did I!”, I told him. So I got to work on stuff and get into a nice solid groove and things felt good, everybody went out to lunch, and we get a call at the restaurant and OH MY GOSH IT’S ONE OF OUR OFF-SITE TEAMS EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE and, right there in front of my boss, me and my main man took care of it on speaker phone in the restaurant (can we get a to-go box?), on speaker phone in the car, and then on speaker phone once we got back to the lab. And off-site said that everything was fine right as the weekend started. As we were leaving, my boss pointed out that it was fortuitous that I just happened to pick the day that he’d get a call from off-site. And I am so very tickled about that that I had to share the story.
I figure that it was a better one than the “I sorted laundry today after a week of being back at work and noticed how many more button shirts there are in it compared to last week when there were practically nothing but fuzzy pants and hoodies.” And as such, this weekend, I will spend it doing laundry with button shirts in it.

This is the threa...Daniel Brühl is recounting one of those outer-body experiences actors get working on a Marvel movie. Recruited to the cast of the latest superhero venture, Captain America: Civil War, he arrived on set keenly.
“I, being very German, was overpunctual and stepping in the make-up trailer five minutes before my time. And all the seats were occupied by Scarlett [Johansson], Chris [Evans] and Robert [Downey Jr]. This was one of these moments where I thought, ‘Shit, I’m here!’” This “rollercoaster ride”, as he puts it, hasn’t stopped since. The first floor of the London hotel where Brühl is holed up, dutifully promoting his role as the villainous Zemo, is awash with Avengers. A beefed-up Evans, who plays Captain America, stalks the corridor. Elizabeth Olsen, who joined the franchise as Scarlett Witch in last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, glides down it with all the precision of a catwalk model. And Anthony Mackie – aka The Falcon – can be heard booming with laughter in the next room. By comparison, Brühl is simply attired, in a pale grey pullover and navy slacks, quietly sipping his afternoon coffee. In the past he’s worked with Quentin Tarantino, playing the German sniper in Inglorious Basterds, and Ron Howard, winning Bafta and Golden Globe nominations for his turn as Austrian racing driver Niki Lauda in Rush.
But, still living in Berlin where he was raised, you’re just as likely to find him in a German, French or Spanish-language movie. He was at least able to call on one A-List friend before taking the plunge to join the Marvel team: Thor star Chris Hemsworth. The two became friends after starring in Rush. “I emailed him and said, ‘What do you think?’ He said, ‘Do it. You will enjoy it. They will take care of you.’” Sadly, Hemsworth’s Thor is one of the few Avengers not to return for this enormous – and hugely entertaining – superhero showdown. “I would have loved to have a scene with Thor,” Brühl smiles. It hardly matters, with a story that draws from the 2006-2007 comic series written by Mark Millar, in which the Avengers are pitted against each other after a law is brought in to regulate their activities following the bloody fallout of a rescue mission in Lagos. “That’s why I was attracted to this story,” says Brühl. “All these moral questions these superheroes have…
Are we really that perfect? What damage are we causing?” As the film’s global PR campaign cranks into gear, you can expect to see #TeamCap and #TeamIronMan everywhere, as Evans’ Captain America and Robert Downey Jr’s metal-suit-sporting Tony Stark go head-to-head. “To see who is choosing which side is fascinating,” says Brühl. But what about his character? Can’t we get #TeamZemo trending? “That’s what I said,” he chuckles. “I need some support!” He’s hardly the first European to join the Marvel universe – following in the footsteps of Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Delpy and a number of Brits – but his presence indicates the savvy nature of über-producer Kevin Feige, who met with Brühl in London long before the shoot began. The actor admits he’s not exactly an expert in the source comics. “I was very scared before the first meeting. I thought, ‘Oh God, what if he’s asking me professional Marvel questions...?’” Fortunately, there was no entrance exam to pass.
Brühl’s character is also markedly different from the Baron Zemo in the comics, who wore a purple mask to disguise a disfigured face. Rather than the typical army-raising, world-conquering nemesis, his character in the film is a shadowy figure (with a penchant for bacon and coffee). “It was much more interesting to have this mysterious guy in the background who pulls all these strings.” Brühl isn’t quite so mysterious. Born in Barcelona to a German father and a Spanish mother (the story goes, she didn’t trust German hospitals and wanted to give birth in Spain), he also had a splash of French in the family. “I grew up with half-French cousins because two of my German uncles married French women, so I always consider myself as very European,” he says. “That’s why my goal was to work in different languages and different film cultures.” His late father Hanno Brühl was a director of both documentaries and TV features, and Brühl got to work with him when he was 19 on the 1999 TV movie Hin und Weg.
“That was very strange,” he admits. His career escalated quickly, with 2003’s Bafta-nominated Goodbye Lenin! In the very same year he was profiled as one of the Berlin Film Festival’s Shooting Stars. This February, he presented the award to a new crop of young talent. “I felt like a grandfather,” he groans. Yet there can be no doubt that the 37-year-old Brühl is now one of the top European actors of his generation. “He’s a really intelligent guy, very believable,” admits Michael Winterbottom, who cast him in The Face Of An Angel, his film inspired by the Amanda Knox case, in which Brühl played a documentary filmmaker. Other directors who have been drawn to him include Anton Corbijn (for A Most Wanted Man) and Bill Condon (The Fifth Estate). Brühl will next be seen alongside Emma Watson in Colonia, a harrowing true-life tale set in Pinochet-era Chile. Playing a German citizen kidnapped into the abusive Colonia Dignidad sect, he met a real victim as part of his research.
