I Take Acting Very Seriously.

Making A Film, You're In A Really Dark Tunnel And The Only Kind Of Illumination Is The Shared Experience You're Having With Your Fellow Cast And Director.

I Count 'underworld 4' As My Training Period For 'total Recall.' I Do Think It Was Hard Because I Didn't Realize How Tired I Was. It Is Quite A Lot To Sustain That Kind Of Physical Work Over Nine Months Altogether And By The End Of It, I Definitely Felt Like I Had Aged Quite A Bit In That Year.

Myself And Yorgos Lanthimos, We Spoke A Little Bit And I Was At A Certain Body Weight That I Was Closer To Making A Statement Or Defining The Character Physically By Losing Weight. There Was No Justification For Him To Be Emaciated, But I Thought, Say I Was 165, I Thought What If I Went Down To 155 And Have Him Rail-thin? And Yorgos Was Like, "well, If He's Very Thin I Think Maybe It Will Speak To Some Kind Of Psychological Trouble That We Want To Stay Away From," And I Was Like, "f - -, You're Right."

I Get Excited About Room-service Menus! I Really Do.

From My Experience, The Only Thing You Can Do Is Take What's Written On The Page And Try, Through Your Own Curiosity And Investigation, To Make It Your Own And Honor What The Original Intent Was.
