But in new biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the Succession star experienced a first: playing someone who is still alive. In the film, Strong has a key role as Bruce Springsteen's long-time manager and record producer Jon Landau, who is shown to be fiercely loyal to the beloved musician during what was a difficult period of his life.
"[But] what changed was that it's been profoundly gratifying to feel that Jon feels seen and represented, and something of his essence captured by the work in the movie.
"For me, in a way, the movie has an audience of one, and it's him – so that's been amazing."
"I can't be outsourcing my work to someone on the day," he explained. "His instincts need to become my instincts and I need to believe, in a sense, that I'm Jon when I show up on the set.
When pressed if there was one particular scene in the movie where that resource came in handy, Strong mentioned a key moment in which Jon visits Bruce while he's at a low ebb and gives him some reassuring advice.
"So I said, 'I think I want to try and play Bruce a song.' And then I asked them, 'What song might that be?' So there's an incredible text exchange of all these different ideas of what I could play him.
"And then I finally asked Bruce, 'What song would you play if you were trying to save your friend's life?' And then at about midnight, the night before we shot the scene, he sent me this Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers Song [Last Mile Of The Way], and that became what's in the movie. So that was an example of just how collaborative and authentic the making of it was."
And this aspect of their relationship was one that Strong found especially rewarding to explore.
You know, he's going to protect Bruce's vision from any forces that seek to dilute it, diminish it, alter it for commercial purposes. He's created a kind of fortress of care and sensitivity that's allowed Bruce to flourish in the pure way that he has."
