My Chemical Romance's Black Parade Patient star speaks out on reprising his role
Although My Chemical Romance’s popularity spiked after they released their second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, in 2004, their biggest success came from their 2006 album, The Black Parade. The band kickstarted their epic third album by releasing Welcome To The Black Parade as their first single in September 2006. The music video told the story of MCR’s character “The Patient,” a cancer sufferer who was ushered into the afterlife by the Black Parade. Express.co.uk recently caught up with the Patient actor, Lukas Haas, about his time working with the legendary band, and his new slasher movie, where he worked alongside Megan Fox and Bruce Willis.
Haas, who was promoting his new film Midnight in the Switchgrass, had nothing but good things to say about working with Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar.
He exclusively told us: “It was an amazing experience. It was two or three days and we were on this huge set. It was sort of snowing and that huge parade was… I mean it was wild.
“To get to see that happening… it was insane. Super cool. It was an intense couple of days. I haven’t seen them since then.”
Haas then explained how, before filming the seminal music video, the band pulled him aside.
