To play a menacing (and mysterious) villain in the A24 film, the actor had to find a way into the character without judging his questionable behavior.
I thought it was one of the funniest, darkest, weirdest stories I’ve ever read. It just popped on the page. And Janicza knew that I can play this dark, weird character. She knew most of my work from the theater — she looked at my whole body of work and saw that I had the capabilities to play a character like this, who is very theatrical. As an actor, I want to be a part of [a director’s] vision, and I was ready to go down the rabbit hole with her.
I’m able to separate everything. My roots in the theater [taught me to] create a complete character based on the script, the choices and the world that is in its own silo. I’m interested in my characters existing in their own worlds truly, fully. That’s the only way I know how to do it.That’s a respectable career, and some people have that. I’m not that dude. I’ve always wanted to be a Dustin Hoffman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christian Bale or Harvey Keitel — these are my inspirations.
