adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel. The actor delved into the titular character’s morality and how it feels to add his name to the list of actors who have played him.
And in exactly the same way, I think we can really luxuriate in certain moments. It gives you so much opportunity to act out things that perhaps we don’t normally get to see act acted out. Because the character has such an extraordinary mind … I think to watch that mind at work and to see him not just come up with solutions but also make mistakes is really, really fascinating.
When he starts to do more dubious things, we’re actually still kind of on his side and we understand because he’s looking at these very spoiled, well-to-do, entitled characters. When we’re looking at these people through his eyes, we’re like, “Yeah, I kind of get that. I get where he’s going.” And then, at some points, we might lose him and we might think, “Oh no, what are you doing now?” So we absolutely see it through his eyes. I think that’s a very unique perspective.
