How different was your interpretation of the character from the original?
Well, there’s not a lot of interpretation involved in the character because he’s mostly a reactive character. So, you just kind of go in there emotionally and just let yourself loose.
How challenging is it to play a reactive character?
It is challenging. It’s challenging to stay on point all the time and try and make sure that you’re in the right place all the time, especially on any given day. In a certain location, we’d have all the big scenes to do in one location, different times in his life. Yeah, it was a challenge in that way. Time constraints were a challenge. But it wasn’t like… I just finished this movie called “Mozart and the Whale” and it wasn’t like playing an autistic man. That was a huge challenge in a different rite.
