Michael Shannon Interview

Man of Steel’s Michael Shannon is shaping up to become the breakout star of the summer. Nobody plays bad quite like Shannon (TV's "Boardwalk Empire") and his take on General Zod has to be one of the highlights of the film. He's even become an internet sensation thanks to his dramatic reading of a sorority letter for the comedy website, FunnyorDie.com. With the lead villain role in this summer's Superman film, Shannon's poised to join the bad guy big leagues.

Tribute.ca spoke with Michael in Los Angeles about his bad boy image, playing General Zod, what he thinks of his Man of Steel co-star Henry Cavill, the new season of "Boardwalk Empire" and his thoughts on starring in a comedy.
