What do you think is the dark “thing” directors see in you when they cast you as the antagonist? link98
That is assuming they see a dark thing, right? There have been quite a lot of those nasty ones. I honestly don’t know, because I think I’m quite nice.
Your performance often explores complex, morally ambiguous characters, from Christian in The Square to Dracula. What draws you to these roles, and how do you approach finding humanity in such layered, sometimes dark, figures? WeirdDug
I’m drawn because there’s often more to play with. You can get out all your Legos and have fun. It’s quite fulfilling. Dracula’s not so nice, but he’s so over the top and actually quite sympathetic. Then the next bit of the question comes into play: where do I find the humanity? I always look for something I can relate to – the inferiority complexes, the insecurity – and that becomes the humanity.
