In his latest project, Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock, Hirsch tackles yet another period character, this time playing a young Vietnam veteran who regains a little bit of his humanity when the iconic music festival descends on his hometown. Cinematical recently spoke to Hirsch in an exclusive telephone interview about his role in Taking Woodstock.
