The actor dished on his role in the upcoming 'Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.'
How did you prepare for playing a real-life character, as opposed to the fictional Dum Dum Dugan or Damien Darhk?who was a character from the DC universe that was kind of an obscure character, so they plucked him out and put me in there and I made it my own, which was really fantastic -- but to play Eisenhower or Buck Compton in"Band of Brothers" or Captain Severance in"Flags of our Fathers"...
Especially doing research on Eisenhower. Eisenhower came just before the television boom, so to find stuff on Eisenhower, wasn't the easiest thing at all, but also made me think, 'Okay, find the truth of the character and you'll find it. You'll find everything you need.' Playing Mamie Eisenhower, Sarah Paulson shares quite a few scenes with you. As an"American Horror Story" pro, did she share any words of wisdom to successfully navigate the series?
I think Sarah and I didn't really talk a ton because we're both devoutly professional, work our characters to the bone and use everything to tell the truth. And Sarah -- she's tremendous. Her work ethic is just terrific. And what she brought to the character was -- she made Mamie her own, like I made Ike my own and it was great to play opposite each other and feed off of each other. And it really worked so incredibly well.
