The actor opens up about the effort that went into bringing his character to life. He reveals, “We shot a lot. We shot extra stuff and, on the edit, we had to remove certain things to simplify it or to make it less obvious sometimes. I did a lot of workshops and I worked really hard on this character because it’s one opportunity that you get sometimes to do a character like this and you don't want to mess it up.”
